people talk about how showing someone your boyvoice is really special and intimate but i think the opposite is also deserving of a lot of reverence and care and tact. when a girl who has a flat lower voice tries out her training voice around you that shit is so vulnerable and so special. that is her exploring who she could be and giving you a sneak peak of her beautiful future
do you guys think Karl Marx would've liked Thrift Shop by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis because it promotes waste reduction and the subversion of both capitalism generally and brand commodification¹ specifically through second hand buying or do you think he would not like it because it still promotes consumption as an activity especially of items one does not actually need.² or do you think he'd like it cause it's a banger³

You have to keep transitioning until you discover that you actually do love dancing and sex. Please.
imagine being forced to do all of the courting in your relationships. now imagine having gendered expectations around doing that courting. now imagine having dysphoria that is triggered by those gendered expectations but still being put in a position where if you do not do the courting you will not have a dating life. text that trans gal first.
