This isn’t particularly “novel”, I suppose, but it is… Interesting to see this trend borne out in real life…

The school I went to has a cluster of “folx” who have subsequently gone trans. Mostly in the year below me (three!!!), but also in my year. I have literally never heard of anyone in prior years having that happen. Mostly F2M (horrifyingly common, where I am), but there’s at least two M2Fs as well.

This individual is one of the F2Ms from the grade below. She (and I will insist on using that pronoun) was always odd, in any interactions I had with her. In school, she obviously never wore makeup, or bothered much with her hair, but nonetheless, never crossdressed (I doubt the school would have allowed it, in those days), and didn’t even cut her hair short. The only “trans” thing she did was shorten her name to a gender-neutral (uncommon, but not unique) version. Which I found odd, but not all that… Extreme.

In any normal, functional society, she probably would have just ended up as a lesbian. But no, not in “Current Year” in the West.

So now she’s late 20s, chopped off her tits, and has grown a fucking D’Artagnan beard, combined with early-onset male pattern baldness, and early-onset greying (she was naturally blonde, but dyed her hair black after “transitioning”, so it looks so much worse now)…

It is… Disgusting. As is the art that “he” makes. Yet “he” is being given a solo exhibition in the University-affiliated (surprise surprise) gallery here, along with fawning radio interviews talking about the “wonders of art school”, et al…

It makes my skin crawl. And yet pretty much everyone I know in the “arty” or “politically active” space, in this city, is falling all over it. Including extended family of mine…

Now, I’ve largely moved on from this place. My soul is no longer here, even if my body currently is. And yet, social media continues to remind me just how fucking loopy the middle class bubble of this shithole is…

All because the fucking internet, and “pop culture”, brainwashed these normies into mutilating their bodies, and dragging others into the “cause” with them.

Meanwhile there are people here who cannot even afford housing or healthcare, because we’ve fucked the entire system up by importing ever more third-world immigrants, most of whom would, privately at least, be hostile to woke bullshit like this…

Fuck this place. I’m done with it, and with these “folx”.

/Rant over.
