finally finished elliot page's memoir 'page boy' and there's this line in one of the last chapters that will rattle around my brain forever where he's talking about how even some of his own friends he assumed would be fully supportive of him treat him weirdly now he's transitioned. and that this is despite how obvious it is that elliot is healthier and more content with life since transitioning. anyway, they finish the chapter by saying, "let me exist with you, happier than ever." and i just.....................ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! let me exist with you!!! happier than ever!!!!!!!!!

The Agony of Ellen Page

As Page's fame grew, nobody knew what predatory men in Hollywood were doing to her.

I can't really forget about that statistic about foster kids being significantly more likely to identify as trans than the general population. "What does this have to do with Ellen Page? She wasn't in foster care" you might ask. Well consider her sexual traumas. I don't think it is a coincidence that girls in foster care want to dissociate from their sex - we are frequently the target of sexual abuse.

Consider this painting called Just Take Them and Leave me Alone:

I really worry about Gen Z and Gen Alpha. Every single day I see another scandal with the trans movement. I read about stories of children removed from parents who would not affirm a trans identity. I read about teachers secretly transitioning a child behind their parent's back at school. I read about minors receiving a double mastectomy in order to affirm their "non binary" identity. I read about safe guarding concerns with drag performers with child audiences.

I wish that girls didn't feel such agony that they wanted to remove their breasts. It's truly a tragedy what's been happening. What has happened to my poor country? I remember that the foster care I grew up in used to save girls from Female Genital Mutilation - now our Children's Aid Society has the trans flag waving on the property. Girls who experienced sexual abuse should not be mutilated. This is not a form of medicine, it is abuse. It's shameful.

Last time I went out, first time in a while I saw my friends (god knows when I'll see them again). Wore something comfortable to walk 2+ hours all the way to my friend’s place to avoid public transport (I was wearing sneakers). That was 2 weeks ago. I have reached the end of my backlog for the first time in years... I still have some old unposted pictures from 2019; we will see if I'll edit those.
