i felt like i met a little bit of myself i never was through this thread https://t.co/NWUGJhcJcR
i found it when she said sth like this it triggled me triggled ~= that feeling of hm, there’s something to be found here clicked through https://t.co/4JzO8PZilf
found this. it made sense. the like "being angry at gender." the like " who, then, would i be today?" https://t.co/g2l9anzIKW
the "nostalgia-like pangs of a path i might have been on." the "nostalgia for a different home," a home that almost does feel like a home, i can imagine the home-ness of it. "another dimension. it's me, but it's not" https://t.co/4H60IBh8aI
i feel that maybe reversed with the "and the dresses. and the sex." i felt like i immediately knew what that way https://t.co/pNdBiOI3nF
im not a woman. i can’t say what i felt is what a woman feels like all i can say is i did have a sense of what it would mean to me that home without a home maybe that’s why i invented my Hot Girl project https://t.co/NMvltQO39J
there’s something about reading women’s laments about performative feminity and having to be an object of attraction that does something for me it makes it more okay or make more sense for me to want the thing (being an object of attraction/femininity) https://t.co/vPHGrDteOq
it makes sense. gender (can) just suck. it can chafe. or in the right hands with the right social resources, it can be a beautiful set of starting templates and shared culturally and biologically mediated archetypes to play with
hearing the downsides of being seen as a woman makes me more confident i want certain things about it i want to remix certain things in https://t.co/fyxRkmE4yy
i think because it removes the impression that "this other gender" is perfect or had everything figured out. which then makes it immortal, or unrelatable to—i am other than it i am not it, but also i am not other than it
maybe i can never be it, but also i am not made of different stuff than it https://t.co/GOugDVdVk8
