This is going viral, re: a 7 yo transgender "boy". The parents seem so disinterested in where this child got the idea that discomfort with feminine socialization/impositions by society >>> manhood that it makes me think this is fake. huffpost.com/entry/transgen…
Here's what I'm talking about, re: aggression.
This is real, & it's something feminists used to discuss. The lack of options for girls (as in...children). The sexualization of children, the hyper-feminization of clothing for little girls.

I consider it a huge blessing I've never had to work a graveyard shift, & even if-in theory-I see the need for something like 24 hour groceries, gas stations, etc...I felt sympathy for their staff in Before Times, & I do now, when cities are going to shit, by design
One of the things that takes up a big chunk of real estate in my brain is incandescent rage at the laptop class & rich #resistance parents as they vote for actors that leave the ppl that endure these indignities to be robbed. Assaulted.
Throughout the course of my entire adolescence, when Republican presidents were in office and Republicans could be blamed for indifference like this of the courts to crime victims, contemporary feminists discussed this.
No longer.

"The Watchmen" really was before its time.
For all the shitty superhero movies, this got so-so reviews at the time, but in hindsight, held against the endless franchise shit...it's almost as special as Nolan's take on "Batman".
That is, possessed of some dopey plot/logic holes, like many superhero movies, tht epic visuals are supposed to paper over; cartoonishly violent; even silly.
But the end product is still compelling, even beautiful; & not simply CGI-slick; well-scored, acted, edited
