something i have to remind myself is that the average person kinda sucks and most people often have bad takes, and that’s true for small minority groups. and obvi, the smaller the group, the smaller the sample size ppl meet. gender is also like a weird thing, since it’s intertwined with physical and social difference, and we’re living in a moment where i think both corporate and political interests are vested in amplifying what differences there are for their own gain. and, i think a lot of ppl early on in transition just don’t understand how to navigates themselves and the world, but idk

so, just to help you diversify the pool of women you know that are trans–i’ve got winter leg hair, and a whole lot of angst about how profoundly diluted a lot of feminist discourse is in america right now, even in academic circles lol

idk helen lewis is such an uninteresting writer
