(41,976 posts)A level playing field when it comes to sexuality, particularly when it transacts gender, race and culture. One of the things I find compelling about the Trans movement, is contrary to expectations it follows perscribed gender roles/appearances to the point of visual identification only. Identifying as a particular gender is more than appearance, and the trans community understands this on the most intimate level, while acknowledging how tied we are to visual portrayals. I believe they are an important factor in helping society move forward from the male-gaze dominant potrayels of sex. I'm seeing more and more stories in all kinds of media that strike out away from the male gaze, and this sets us free to express sexually in any number of ways. That level playing field won't happen in my life time, but we are finally headed in a good direction as long as we keep Republicans and dedicated sexists from fucking every up.
