Femmeness is especially vilified because it’s seen as being connected to decadence and class-privilege. I know this from experience: if you bring five bucks to the thrift store, you can walk out with a total gem and look really good. It takes a good eye but you cultivate that from being without, like I did. You have to cultivate that skill, and you earn it by being able to feel really confident. It’s a problematic notion because it also allows men and masculine people to put on a working class aesthetic: “Look at the one flannel I wear over and over again!” This isn’t seen as performance, it’s seen as more authentic. I experienced really fucked-up mean-girl dynamics in anarchist spaces, because there was a vying for social capital. There was really shitty and weird behavior. I’m more focused on surviving and creating a sustainable lifestyle that’s not just me crying at the end of every meeting. People were emotionally terrorizing, and I don’t think it’s any coincidence that it happened to femme women more often. In political spaces, the Left demonizes femininity because it is associated with excess – as though all of these heterosexist men would listen to us if we came into meetings looking like shit. They wouldn’t even hear us out if we didn’t look fucking fierce.

Hello! I am a graduate student conducting research in Political Science. This is a preliminary survey I’ve written to try to see if using an online survey format would be useful for filling in some data gaps we have in our field and I’m hoping to improve on it to use in later research. For now, I have this rough “draft” of a survey. If you could spare about 5 minutes and take this survey, I’d really appreciate it, as it would really help me figure out the utility of this format and how to improve such a survey.
This survey is for EVERYONE! It doesn’t matter how old you are or if you had sexual experiences before 18. I’ll need all kinds of participants! :)
Warning: This survey does have questions about sexual assault, though. I’d really appreciate input from everyone but if it’ll trigger you, then feel free to skip over this.
I need as many responses as possible in a short amount of time because of time constraints, so please, even if you do not take this survey, consider reblogging it so that others might take it.
Thank you! :)
Please note: This survey is not funded or official, meaning it is not endorsed by my institution, nor has it been looked over by anyone else. I am constructing a research proposal and have made this rough version for that purpose.

The first transgender suicide hotline in the US
For the first time, there is a hotline in the US that is staffed entirely by transgender people, to serve transgender people.  Everyone in the trans community needs to be spreading this around.  Lives could be saved. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860
