As a Trans, I believe in Ariel Pink's gender dysphoria. This song technically came out right at the end of 2023. I heard it while on a run early in the morning in Setagaya City, Tokyo. In the track, Pink sings, "When I was born, something went wrong. They told me I was lucky-- I came this close to being a girl. But I want to be a girl." I absolutely believe his dysphoric yearnings, and detect no sign of post-woke edgelordism. I think it's probably very common, yet hardly documented, when men feel like they want to be a girl, ultimately deciding to remain with their birth gender. In fact, I think this sentiment is rather trans-affirming. As one male friend of mine said of his COVID-era gender experience: "I couldn't decide if I wanted 'Her', or wanted to be 'Her.'" It's a brave stance to portray in a song, one that edges on Macklemore's "When I was in the 3rd grade, I thought that I was gay", but with all the heart and none of the corny virtue signaling. And it's wayyyy too catchy.

Historically, I have been too insecure to be a girl. That pressure of prettiness, of being delicate, of being desirable. I refused to engage. But this year something has shifted. I love cardigans, I want to talk about how I do my hair, I learned how to do make-up. Even though I'm not a model, I adore making myself feel pretty and sexy. I'm falling in love with the culture of feminism, and reclaiming mother earth as a mother. Girlhood is something so insanely precious and now, despite it being so hard, I am so unbelievably grateful I get to experience it. Want to merge my soul with every woman on the planet and scream OH HOW I LOVE BEING A WOMAN!

i read this in the youtube comment section for a kate bush song earlier: "it gives me an insane boost of serotonin and makes me feel divinely feminine"; haven't stopped thinking about it since

my favourite thing to do ever. im lucky enough to have big enough floor space to do this!! it forces me to hoover my bedroom floor because i do NOT wanna be laying on that manky floor. it's so vibes and a bit sleepy and if you have a comfy enough floor, have a nap on your floor!!! also you can bring your laptop down and scroll py.fyi or check emails or make a review of the album you're listening to. best activity ever!!!!
