video essays

• Autogynephilia | ContraPoints
  Thom had messaged me:

  Took a 10 minute break to start watching the Contrapoints Autogynephilia video (because it was mentioned on a Twitter "what cracked your egg" thread), and was like, "I have the same earrings as Natalie!"
  
  (I was wrong. Hers are moons hanging from stars, but mine are stars hanging from moons.)

  My femme datefriend, y'all.
  
  Anyway, they weren't gonna finish it before date night on Friday and had just gotten to the "filth" part (which I was intrigued by), so we watched it together. It was fine? Thom noted some days later that, "after sitting on it a little, the thing that stuck with me the most [...] was Natalie talking about how she transitioned because she wanted people to interact with her _as a woman_."
