@Em0nM4stodon I think I'm wrong and right all at once but that's the fun part of saying shit online
@jonathankoren he seems affable enough in the film. It’s just that the film is a delusion.
Watched Blue Hawaii—the Elvis Hawaii movie—last night.
Another fascinating example of cultural drift, this one rises to the level of Dadaism.
Nothing anyone does or says makes any sense. Motives and mores that don’t feel so much dated as foreign. Watch it sideways, watch it upside down, watch it any way you want: it’s barely intelligible alien quirk.
Elvis’ makeup enhances this unwordly effect by reducing his face to the specular sheen of a Toy Story character.
More importantly: I came away. Now I’m sitting at SFO with a glass of wine and a boarding pass.

"Protection is a desperate attempt to produce the veneer of trans inclusion as progress while avoiding the genuine challenge of letting trans people transition simply because that is what they want. The logic of protection is not new, but it is today proving its ultimate futility. It not only fails to stop the restriction of medical transition because it has no collective vision or demand, just a series of private individuals--
I'm a woman, so I'm treated like a woman, but I'm also punished like one when I challenge patriarchy, and so much moreso, because my existence itself is a challenge to patriarchy.
Femininity is both a sin and a vice in the context of patriarchy, so by embracing it, trans women have committed the ultimate sin and perversion.
Being trans is not the crime, femininity is.
