one song in I'm already gonna have to update my graph
a graph of "Mountain Goats songs with a vibraslap". The "songs with a vibraslap" axis is 0 from 1991 until 2022, when it jumps to 1, and it jumps to 2 in 2025. a concerning trend to be sure

(taps the "read Ur-Fascism by Umberto Eco" sign)
The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. (highlighted) Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. (end highlight) Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

(3/3)
At a time when we are under attack, my gender, and therefore my pronouns, are political. 

(A bathroom labeled “biological women only” with (no trannies) below)

(A square labeled “democratic republic of female” with a squiggly shape labeled “me” both inside and outside of it)

Any border must be policed. Despite insistence to the contrary, humans do not exist in easily-quantifiable categories that are rigid. Like every human, I’m complicated. I’m messy. There are some “feminine” traits and some that aren’t. 

(Myf’s face with arrows pointing to it: likes sports, pretty good cook, teacher, lesbian, wears dresses sometimes?)

Ze is a pronoun that doesn’t bring much baggage other than “this person doesn’t fit into my boxes”. It is big enough to contain all the complexity of me (last line surrounded by various shapes in different colors)In a world obsessed with efficiency, with making every person into a data point, my pronouns say: 

(ze/zir pronoun pin holding a sign saying “hey there, partner. why not get to know me first?”)

I’m a woman, but I’m not just a woman. 

I’m transgender, but I’m not just “DEI”

I’m weird! I’m unusual!

I’m not he or they or she. 

I’m ZE.

ze /ziː/
zir /zɪər/
zirs /zɪərs/
zirself /zɪər.sɛlf/

These are my pronouns

This is how you use them:

Ze is taking a shower. 
I’m going to the hockey game with zir. 
Is that zir coffee? Yes, that’s zirs. 
Ze is making dinner only for zirself.I still use she/her pronouns, but it’s kinda like this:

(image of myf in a restaurant booth. The waiter asks “is Pepsi okay?”)

You probably already have an opinion about my ze/zir pronouns. Why did I pick these?

(a crowd of people saying “that’s not proper English”, “you’re just making things harder for yourself”, “I’m not doing that”, “that’s silly” “[slur]”)(myf worriedly clutching a box with the female symbol on it. Large hands labeled public stares, gov’t, unsupportive family, online hate grasp toward zir)

Early on in my transition, it felt like I had to protect my womanhood. My right to escape the male-shaped box the world had put me in. 

(Myf being hydraulic pressed into a square box)

But, at the same time, womanhood became its own restriction. A new set of confinements so that I could be treated like a human. You would think, then, that they/them would be the pronouns for me. However…

(Person saying “so anyway, he- sorry, they”)

I’d mostly been given these pronouns by people who do not see me as a woman. A negotiated compromise. A ceasefire without peace. 

(Myf proudly holding a trans flag)

I spent 23 years trying to compromise on who I am. I’m done. I am a transgender woman. But do not assume I’ll fit into your box.
