What someone sees as affirming their gender is entirely up to them. Plenty of men do feel more masculine doing things like not using a straw, eating certain meals, listening to certain music, ect. Women might wear clothing that emphasises their figure. Some trans men feel affirmed in their gender by growing a beard, trans women might train their voice to feel more feminine. Gender is a performance and we all constantly make decisions to reinforce it. Thinking growing plants is gender affirmation isn’t a problem, it’s just a reality you’re not living. If someone grows those kinds of plants and it reinforces their gender identity, that’s valid and more power to them.

Would that not be the plants they like? Everyone’s all for gender affirmation until it’s straight men seeking affirmation for theirs
2·2 days agoYeah, from what I’ve heard Nintendo earns their pricetag by making some of the best games you can buy. That being said they are essentially luxury products at this point and just because they’ve earned the pricetag, doesn’t mean I can afford it.
Depends on what games you play. I play lots of studio games and don’t play a lot of indies. Now I just pirate. To paraphrase a wise man “this may or may not technically be legal… But 105aud for a new video game is a straight up crime”
Fair enough
They did for me, then my cost of living went up along with the cost of games. Now I’ll only buy games that I intend to play multiplayer
If they’re not doing anything wrong what’s the problem
Do they really have security guards patrolling the aquarium like it’s a prison?
Exactly right. Gender is performance. We commonly enhance this performance through clothing, the way we speak and how we refer to ourselves; this is not the only ways with which it’s done though. I think it would be rude to criticise a trans man for affirming their gender by growing a beard for example. However when it comes to cis men in particular, the way they reinforce their gender is often mocked. So what if the plants some grows makes them feel more comfortable in their gender.
