🌸 Did Someone Say Taylor Swift

Hi! My name is Brooke and I don’t know how or when but at some point I fell down a rabbit hole that is the Taylor Swift fandom- don’t give me a ladder because I don’t want to get out. I really did find wonderland and I got lost in it and life has never been worse (Easter egg hunting truly drives me insane) and never better (Easter egg hunting is such a great time wth) I hope you’re all having a nice day and please message me if you are- and more importantly if you’re not.

Taylor’s mind. William Wordsworth wrote a poem called “The idiot boy” and it mentioned Betty. Wordworths sister was named Dorothy as well... I have just started studying literature at university and her albums really couldn’t have come at a better time.

Only top 0.5% I really feel like I could have done better. Anywayyy, I’m guessing my top five songs are because I always start the album from track 1. I’m so happy I got to spend 2020 with Taylor. She got me through some really tough moments this year, as I’m sure she did for many others. Here’s to many more years of listening and crying to Taylor.

y’all ever think about how betty changes up the lyrics every chorus in cardigan and the song is jam packed with detail because she knew james so well (presumably for years) but august repeats the same memory of getting in the car/cancelling her plans/meeting behind the mall three times because they barely had any time together, just a summer

[bettyjamesandaugusta]

I also think about James tries to shift the blame from himself, saying that “I saw you dance with him” and “she pulled up like a figment of my worst intentions” as if he didn’t fully know what he was doing, and then had the nerve to ask for Betty back after all the pain he puts her through : “You drew stars around my scars but not I’m bleeding”

To that person who said Swifites hit their peak in fifth grade, actually it was seven feet.

Cardigan | Taylor Swift (Alternative Lyrics)

I like the way Cardigan came out but these lyrics do hit different

I’m a cis-gender man which basically means that, when I was born, the doctor went “It’s a boy!” and when I was old enough to understand I agreed with him.

The thing is, I don’t know why I feel like a man.  I was teased and bullied for it a lot when I was little.  I’ve never had stereotypically American male interests.  I never cared about sports or cars or guns.  I was more interested in music and cooking and the arts.  I’ve always been emotionally in tune and sensitive, even when I did my best to suppress my emotions to survive a childhood of abuse from other children.

It’s not physical either.  I don’t feel like a man because I have a penis or a beard.  If you put my brain in a robot body or any other body, my essence would still feel male (I assume).  I literally can’t imagine what being any other gender would feel like, since I feel so acutely male.

I think that’s why the concept of being transgender always made sense to me.  I’m a man.  I don’t have any bloody clue why I feel like a man, but I don’t feel that it’s tied to my body or my interests or the way that I’ve been treated.  I feel like a man because of something beyond that.  Something ephemeral.  So, why couldn’t others feel the same?  Why couldn’t a person who’s been misidentified as a girl feel like a boy for the exact same nebulous reasons that I do?

And, since gender really doesn’t make any sense to me anyway, why couldn’t there also be people who feel as if they don’t have one?  Or who flow across genders like a ship on a map?

Are there people out there whose sense of their own gender is inseparable from their physical form?  If you put those people into robot bodies or, simply, other physically different bodies, would their gender identity also swap?  If so, why?  Are they actually more lost in their gender identity than I am and they need to hone in on the physical in order to anchor themselves?

Why do people feel like they are the gender that they are?

This is very soul filling to read. Thank you

My grandfather, who had a difficult time coming to terms with it when I came out, has been working very hard to understand me and my experience. About 5 weeks ago, he asked me, almost offhand, “why are you so sure that you’re a man?”

And I replied, “well, I could ask you the same thing.” And I moved on, continued, tried to explain why I feel the way that I do, but I don’t think he heard any of those things that I said afterward. 

Because six days later, we talked about it again, and this is what he told me: 

“I couldn’t stop thinking about what you said last week. Because all my life I identified it as ‘these are the parts that I have, and so I am a man’. But you’re living proof that gender is not limited to what is attached to your body, so I asked myself, why am I a man? And all I can say is ‘because I have no idea what it feels like to be anything else’. I cannot imagine what it’s like to be a woman. Or neither, or both, or any other gender. I have always been a man.”

And I replied, “that’s exactly what it feels like for me.”

So, shoutout to my cisgender grandfather, for stumbling upon the essence of being trans accidentally, with very little help from me. I love you, grandpa.

watching cis folks suddenly and comprehensively grasp the inessential nature of gender is always a joy

I would like to point out that in the video Kanye said that he likes to point the gun away from his face to avoid repurcussions with the media. “You said the gun was mine” in LWYMMD is Taylor explaining how Kanye made out that the media storm Taylor was subjected to was her fault because she played the victim. In reality it was entirely fabricated by Kim and Kanye. They gun belonged to them.

[bettyjamesandaugusta]

Oh look at that. I’m crying over Taylor Swift again

Edit: I’m watching Hannah Montannah on Disney+ and Taylor Swift just appeared! I didn’t even know she was in this movie!
