crying is so therapeutic and i truly love it. unfortunately i’ve gotten so good at bottling my grievances up, its a physical strain to let myself cry at this point.
me and my heart: ok im alone and i feel fucking horrible. i need to cry this out.
Ok but as a dysphoric trans man the whole ‘you need dysphoria to be trans’ actually baffles me because even tho I’ve always has crippling dysphoria, it didn’t actually help me figure out my gender at all. I usually dismissed my dysphoria as ‘internalized misogyny’ or just not being feminine enough, which actually just caused me worse dysphoria.
You know what made me figure out that I’m trans though? Gender euphoria. The minute I got called a ‘sir’ is the moment that I realized, “shit this feels right.” And at that point I realized that I could no longer deny the fact that I’m not a woman and that I couldn’t keep living as one.
Here’s a hot take: maybebeingtransisn’tsomuch about how uncomfortable you can be in your AGAB, but rather how muchmorecomfortable you can be.
“The Horde almost destroyed myhome. I wanna help fight them.”
I don’t care if this makes me a bad feminist or whatever but I want the old She-Ra look back. Femininity, red lips, and a short skirt aren’t inherently bad things, nor do they make a character a paragon of male gaze.
When I look at this new She-Ra it’s like they turned a glittery rainbow into a dull stoplight.
The new She Ra is plenty feminine. She has long blonde hair, a sparkly transformation, a flowy skirt. How is she unfeminine at all?
The only difference is that she looks like a feminine teenager, not a fully grown adult women acting like a teenager.
Pretty sure there’s nothing stopping you from finding the comics or episodes from the 80s to enjoy. YouTube has a bunch of them for free.
i’m so bored with adults’ hot takes on how the new she-ra just doesn’t measure up to the original. this one doesn’t belong to us, fellow non-kids. build a house out of old VHS tapes and live in it.
Hotter take:
You are not the intended audience.
Pre-teen/teenage girls are the intended audience.
It’s almost like art styles change over time to adhere to a modern audience. Imagine that.
you give these kids an almost completely empty room.
there are open desks all over the place. they could literally sit anywhere they want.
and what do they do?
sit in their assigned seats.
Just like real high school, even with no seating chart kids will sit in the same seat as they did the first day of school until the heat death of the universe
