Lately I've been thinking a lot about the idea of homosexual culture and transexual culture, like do these things actually exist, are they strictly subcultures within a larger cultural umbrella? Would it be desirable for them to exist, if not?I think we've inherited some vague notion of homosexual culture from the 1980s but only because American society as a whole has been stuck in an ice age since the 1980s. atm online communities seem to be about producing canons of music, films, books, fashion, just vibes; I definitely see this occurring a lot among homosexuals and transexuals online, too. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I feel like a culture shapes you in some way; do you feel as though you yourself have been shaped by what could be called homosexual or transexual culture? On a higher level than your local scene?I am just interested in ppl's thoughts on this. pls reply <3
>>41270577Trans culture has made me regret being trans. Most of them are idiots who aren't even trans or are trans and act fucking retarded. They are the worst ones, they are loud and make us genuinely look like shit.
>>41271487>>41270577And they are aaaalllways triggered about everything.
>>41270577trans culture kinda sucks for being cringe but i also have the agp shark and unironically love it soooo...the more palatable stuff like signalis or w.e. is kino methinks, though that game is kinda too scary idk if i'll finish it
>>41271487 Not OP but: a lot of trannies say this, isn't the basic truth that you hate other trannies for holding up a mirror and reminding you of what you are, causing secondhand dysphoria?When I started trooning I would have panic about being together with other trans people and would often just bolt in the other direction. Now I can stand it more but I still have issues where I feel frustrated by large groups of trans people.
>>41271725Part of what spurred this thought on for me is like, truscum, transmedicalism, theyfabs, gatekeeping vs the watering down of everything. I'm not trans, I'm just a gay guy, so it's not exactly my place to say. But it kind of feels analogous to Americana? Like the way it contains many negative archetypes in its multitudes, and these are celebrated, the way hicks and organized crime and stuff figure romantically in a Cohen brothers' movie. The cringe Transexual multitudes, bricks, AGPs, etc., reflect America itself: a misshapen society of undesirable immigrants and obese cattle on they phones, but also, a canvas for great art which edifies life, somehow.You can react to this in different ways, like obv America is no stranger to the fascistic impulse to enforce a top-down image of what 'the real culture' is, and to purge whatever does not fit that aesthetic model. I feel like Louise Charlotte Weard's work is effective because it DOES produce an aesthetic model of Transexuality which contains the multitudes rather than fascistically eliminating them.
I mean sure. this board has/propagates a subset of trans culture. There was definitely a trans culture I noticed a local version of when I first came out (00s), and again when I was in college, and in other places online.
>>41270577they don't really exist, nowadays culture means let anybody in and do whatever they want that identifies with it, but that isn't genuine, therefore it's not real culture, but it is the state of things without gatekeeping
>>41270577No you have inherited a homosexual culture from the 60's.That is when homosexual liberation began in ernest.Now homosexuality is being taught to childrenSo yes every single dumbass has been groomed by the hippie fucking boomers even though everyone hates fucking boomers.
>>41270577The culture of gay men at least has been watered down and packaged into an aesthetic for cishet women to consume. The notion of there being just one "gay culture" feels like a relic from the 20th century. In the zoomer sphere of things there are gay subcultures: furry, drag queens, femboys but they're all distinct and have little in common other than being dominated by gay/bi men.
