Wow this post was a mindfuck. I usually avoid internet related content because I’m still pretending the internet is not a universe and not really happening on some level, and so I try not to delve into it by not informing myself about it. Your notes on beauty and surgery…etc made me wonder (and to some this may be deeply offensive, for that I apologize) whether the rise of trans surgeries and what I feel is the prevalence of the trans experience today stems from this same idea on some level. I hesitate to go on because I don’t know you and I don’t want to share my full thoughts on this subject in such a public platform that anyone can read and misunderstand (but for some reason I felt it could be worthwhile to share that your writing sparked ideas and made me think about things?). Anyways thank you for sharing and educating and I guess being brave enough to tackle what I consider to be some shady? (read: dark, read: scary) aspects of the human experience :)
