I would LOVE if someone would analyze/read the Being Jazz book similar to what was done in the Schofield thread. I tried my hand at it but was finding red flags in literally every sentence and gave up out of exhaustion. But if one of you brave souls has some extra time and autism, much obliged.
If you want a short summary of what happens in the book without the analysis/psychological investigation of paragraphs, I'll put some interesting shit here for you:
-Jazz essentially was obsessed with girl shit from the instant he was born. Mermaids, pink, Disney shit, etc. He would throw a tantrum being in normal boy clothes.
-Jeanette thought he was going to be a girl because of creepy pagan woo charms shit and was pissed when she found out he was a boy.
-Ari was peeved that Jazz was now supposed to be her "Sister". She misgendered him several times and gave no fucks.
-Jazz was a little brat, throwing tantrums all the time. He threw a tantrum over getting a blue toothbrush instead of a pink one.
-Greg was less than thrilled about Jazz being trans but slowly accepted it like the cuck he was.
-Jazz would try to pick at/tuck his penis in school all the time to the point where it became a problem that the teachers had to speak up on. He was also obsessed with drawing boobs/vaginas. This is as early as elementary school.
-Jazz grew up obsessed with his girl friend's boobs. He'd stare at them all the time and would be jealous.
-Jazz would steal all of Ari's things and dress up in Ari's clothes. He even wore her bras.
-Jazz got cucked out of playing girls soccer.
-Jazz flashed his penis to his girl friends at sleepovers. Again, elementary age.
-Jazz would piss himself in protest for not being allowed to go into the girl's bathroom.
-One of Jazz's childhood best friends called him out and said he was a selfish brat. Jazz broke up their friendship.
-In fifth grade, Jazz thirsted over this boy and was ready to jump him with makeout time. He essentially scared the boy off. It's pretty cringy. Jazz would constantly blurt out wanting to make out with people, to the point where his family was uncomfortable.
-Jazz met Obama.
-Most people that Jazz tries to befriend seem genuinely creeped out/disgusted by him. The book demonizes them of course.
-Jazz wakes up his parents to tell them that he french-kissed two girls.
-Jazz's friends were obsessed with Stephen King's It and Jazz was convinced they were talking about him.
-There's a sad Q&A with Jazz's family at the end as well as some genuinely depressing family pictures.
-Ari laments not getting one on one time with her mom anymore. Misery.
That's the most I could glean quickly off the top of my head. Overall, lots of really creepy moments. Jazz comes off like someone either touched him or he's legit autistic. It's really quite horrifying.
