Over a 100???? It was just the guy in the photo a couple days ago djsjdjks
no but jokes aside this is actually really great. malicious compliance in the best way.
here's a quote from a Pink News article about this that really stuck with me:
Elia Bonci, who also spoke to la Repubblica, said: “I took courage, used my deadname and signed up for Miss Italy because fighting transphobia is intersectional and even though I’m not a trans woman, I’ve decided to fight for their rights.”
the whole point is to show how "afab" being used as a replacement for woman is fucking stupid and fundamentally incorrect and. whatever else. and it gives me hope to see the community rising up like this. solidarity and unity and peace on planet earth.
