Christ, in his pre-transition pics he looks exactly like my cousin. And to be fair, Biden's staff probably told him to come out and meet this Andy Serkis twig person, so he just told him what he wanted to hear so he could go back to huffing blunts in the pantry.
Telescope psychology ahead.
Yes it "existed" in the fringes of society and engaging, supporting or participating in it made you a creepy weirdo at best and an outcast at worst. Feminism is why the greater society started "tolerating" and accepting it.
Right but remember, 'trans' is such an invasive concept because everyone who buys into it has a different interpretation of what it means, because it's based on how one demographic sees and interprets the others. I'm not ruling out the grift factor but it is entirely possible that somebody who has spent their life breathing in progressive air freshener (Born in Califorina, educated in Cincinnati, music theatre, Tik-Tok) can come to believe there is nothing amoral with what they are doing. The reason the flap between him and Caitlyn Jenner is interesting is that Caitlyn was a trailblazer and spent a much larger portion of their life around women, including his daughters, which have clearly informed his sense of boundaries. Gay culture has few boundaries on discretion, but that's generally because it's held indoors, and online, very judgmental. On Twitter, they'd call you beautiful even if your skull was showing through your forehead.
He is acting out a beyond exagurated caricatures of a women, not even woman, a little girl (hence the name of his show) so he can act immature and dumb ontop of it. His portrayal of a woman is about as realistic as the portrayal of a black man is in a minstrel show.
Everything Dylan does is that of a stereotypical queen, as in a picked up affectation of female mannerisms. I don't know why some gays develop this behaviour, or why it's mostly in Spain or the U.S, but this effeminacy, flamboyancy and slight cattiness is probably quite real. He's just old enough to have experienced the stigma surrounding those traits, including amongst other gay men, which he's said outright is a source of discomfort. It's not a stretch that he convinced himself he was trans because he had so many effeminate characteristics. Saying things like 'Barbie pouch', like OP mentioned, would be exactly the kind of blunt tongue-in-cheek 'girl-banter' he could get away with straight women if he were still male, but now he's a 'girl' and everything we know that implies, it suddenly becomes grotesque. Even the 'girl' thing is a gay holdover - like how they'd bid themselves and their group of faghags 'us girls' on a night out.
I don't think they're AGP, but we'll see - it seems more gay bawdiness about genitals and sex than any real interest in the vagina. The way they deal with tampons doesn't seem to indicate a Yaniv-like fetish as it does a 1) fulfilling his 'girly' obligations by stocking up on 'girl' tokens, and 2) gay men who would do the same things with condoms when promoting safe sex - this is why he acts like he's flinging candy around. The joke being he bought all the tampons because he's he's having a lot of fun sex, see, and now you can too, because he's conflated the two, because he has no frame of reference for what periods are. This flippant disinterest in the specific operation of their 'Barbie pouch' could be consistent with somebody who generally uses the rear service area anyway.
He seems to treat it like just a process of accepting his effeminacy, but doesn't realise how bad it looks because he's socialised as a queen and a gay man and has picked up facsimiles of feminine behaviour. So I think this is him, in his naturally 'girly' state, but now calling himself a girl while dressed and talking like a rent boy and the effect is impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, the media and Twitter tell him that nothing he's doing is wrong in the slightest.
Maybe it's political performance art, maybe it's a triple-flag psyop, but I believe that the big things are usually the results of a series of clusterfucks. A pretty boy losing his youth, out of work, insecure about being a fairy, seeking the spotlight again, goes on Tik-Tok, and is presented the solution to all his problems. Troon out, a skit project for a supportive audience, be their true selves. Becomes a caricature of a woman, women get pissed, White House flunkie slingshots the president at him to assure pissed women that no, it's okay, he's one of them until the next draft, yes their children will be trooned out, and yes he will be allowed to use their bathrooms like they said they wanted, Kamala 2024!
