minus-squareHegar@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 days agoA patient I dealt with had schizophrenia and dementia, “but I’m a man, not a little girl with panties” was his counterargument to everything. You can only have one cigarette at a time because otherwise you lose them all and run out. “But I’m a man.” You know the doctor says your food needs to be cut up. “Do I look like a little girl to you?” That’s the communal cheese bowl, this is your plate. You can’t eat from the communal cheese bowl with a fork. “Do you see me wearing panties?” Whenever I hear people making these kind of gender essentialist arguments, they just sound pitiably out of touch with reality to me.
