Big Bang Theory is a terrible show.

It's not because of "nerd blackface." Fuck you :reddit-logo: for making that the presumed reason for anyone to dislike that show.

It's a misogynistic, cryptoracist, ignorantly ableist (setting back public understanding of autism by years) and lowkey homophobic unfunny mess that is written like the script was printed on plastic sheets made from melted down Funko Pops. Also, the :my-hero: worship is insufferable.

      TBH, this is an odd way to think of it, to me. I don't know that I understand it. I also don't really vibe with the idea that gender is something that you can have personal agency over; any more than you can have direct personal agency over your social identity, or "place in society" broadly speaking. It's always going to be a negotiation between what you're materially capable of doing, and what terms other people are prepared to accept in interacting with you; and at least in my experience the latter usually takes precedence.
