FYI despite the alt text post dates aren't visible in the screenshot

Assuming OP took the screenshot then manually found the dates, they may not know there's a setting to show the dates (more recent dates being relative instead of absolute)

Screenshot with dates

I did not know there was a setting to show the dates and went to each post to see them :p.

TBH I kind of like not seeing the dates on Tumblr but it would have been nice here for sure.

Finally, vision having exclusionism

I have a trans cousin who I talk.kusic with, and she keeps recommending trans bands. I'm not sure if she sees an egg in me (if so she's wrong) or if thats just the majority of what she listens to these days but 100 gecs is fucking awesome one way or the other

[–] edg@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

She probably just likes sharing what makes her happy with her awesome cousin 😁

She doesn't listen to greenday anymore but I still listen to dead kennedys and sonic youth so I think I won that argument

I bet it's the second one. People tend to listen to things that they find relatable, so trans people tend to listen to trans musicians making songs about the trans experience.

I saw a video just the other day that you might like that's related to this. It's called dissociation and the "trans aesthetic".

"dumbest girl alive" did give me a lot of perspective on the trans experience. If I decided to one day go out as a girl that's basically exactly how I'd feel.
