I never understand trans art, like all the trans allegories go over my head. And when I ask my friends to explain them it always goes like

"Hey I know The Matrix is a trans story, like I've heard that and I believe it, but... why? Like I know estrogen came in red pills at the time but that's an easter egg at best, what makes it a trans story?"

"It's a story about the world being wrong around you in ways that, once you notice them, you can never really stop seeing. Once you understand it you feel this overwhelming urge to take control of your life, to experience something true in defiance of those who did this to you"

And like. None of it ever scans to me at all. The world didn't open up to me when I came out, I didn't start discovering the truth of the society that scorned me or whatever. I started saying I was a girl and that makes me happy and that's basically the only thing I have going on re: transgender
