A cishet guy in my FB timeline lost a bet and has to spend all day wearing the jersey of a sportsball team he hates.

At first I didn't understand why it was such a big deal. It's just sportsball. It's just clothes... oh.

This must be like the cishet guy version of dysphoria.

I'm coining this as 'Sportsball Dysphoria'.

FYI: This is a shitpost. Please don't make me famous for coining a sportsball reference.

Just for reference, I could have also gone with the term 'Sportsball Identity Disorder' but felt that would have been invalidating for people who believe their Sportsball Identity is real.

Sportsball-Identity Criticals (SCs): "Everyone knows you can't just switch Sportsball teams."

@revoluciana

SCs: Your Sportsball team is imposed on you by your parents at birth, which is the natural order of things.

No lie, I got yelled at once when I was in high school for wearing the Wrong Sportsball Top.

We were at Dollar General, and one of the lunch ladies from my school saw me there and berated me for wearing a Texas Longhorns tee shirt and not an Arkansas Razorbacks shirt.

Like... come on lady, I'm not even wearing it for sports stuff, I'm wearing it because I liked the colors and art design better than the too-busy designs of the Razorback stuff.

Note: Sportsball-Identity Criticals are also sometimes referred to as "Sportsball-Identity Exclusionary Radical Meatheads" (SpERMs)

I say don't make me famous for this sportsball reference and now I've got 50 boosts and 125+ shiny favstars on that post in less than 3 hours. That's Mastodon viral.

Y'all are messing with me.

Update: My wife says she wants me to get famous for this. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@revoluciana as silly as this is, I feel like it could maybe actually be a relatable analogy for a certain type of person who just hasn't empathized with dysphoria??

revoluciana,
@revoluciana@chaosfem.tw avatar

@cassidy Yeah, I don't really understand sports or empathize with sports fanatics.

Maybe I flip the scenario. Does my dysphoria help me relate to sports fanatics?

That question makes me nauseated, so... does that indicate that it does maybe work? Or that it doesn't?

🤷🏻‍♀️ lol

@revoluciana Oh, Goddess... I've been a fan of one sportsball team all my life, but kind of like this other sports team, and will be rooting for them this week because it's a big week for them... does that make me Sportsball-fluid? 😁​
