It's a relief you didn't grow up now. You could have been put on puberty blockers and could have been castrated to prevent you killing yourself. Ironically after you grew uo and realized what was stolen from you, you would want to kill yourself. The curse of overdiagnosed trans.
"The dissipated lush" is a terrific descriptor, and (s)he can be found in many older movies; John Wayne often played a great one, as did Val Kilmer with Doc Holliday. James Bond probably also fits this role, even as the main protagonist. Women do seem to do it with a stronger, better edge though, probably because the feminine is "not suppsoed to be like that" whereas that in the masculine role is more culturally accepted.
But with the dumbed down, uncreative approach that Hollywood has embraced in recent years, it's become a forgotten character. Yet another reminder that entertainment ain't what it used to be.
I'm old enough to remember popular media needing to correct that old idea that homosexuality was caused by overbearing mothers and weak fathers. Tut tut-- science taught us that its all genetics, and evolutionary biology, silly!
Your writing suggests to me (like many things these last few years) that a primary function of "science" is to cover up old uncomfortable truths once understood by most.
You always have a way of making me ponder my own childhood experiences, though they're very different from yours. My best friend growing up, though, his mom fit this stereotype except she wasn't MEAN. She was a slut, not a slattern, and she stayed with her cucked husband, but the effect was much the same. She wanted sooo much for Troy NOT to be gay and left us alone a LOT hoping, I guess, that I could break that spell. We did fool around some, but it was weird, so we'd end up just playing Super Nintendo because that's who we were. Unfortunately, life hasn't been kind of him and he sort of disappeared as his twinkishness faded and life wasn't as kind to him as it probably should've been. I wish I could hug you both in a completely platonic and wholly loving way. I'm happy, though, that you've found a way to work through your issues (much like I did in my thirties and early forties) and find your way as YOU and not some worn-out stereotype.
My siblings and I all tried to impersonate these characters when we were small and as we've grown up we always wondered why. This is some great insight. Funny enough- it was my brother who perfected all of them.
Sorry Josh, but in regards to your be a parent not a pansy. Well bloody said. I have kids and we see every day the harm gender ideology causes and i’m sick of it. Its illiberal and bollocks. I also think a lot of the neuro diversity stuff is bollocks too. ADHD….. its so common now- particularly amongst the wealth bracket of parents who can afford a private diagnosis- i’m in the uk, that its the f-ing norm. And my kids who i refuse to label in this way are noticing that some kids are getting away with poor behaviour because they have this piece of paper that cost their parents a grand. Anyway. God bless and happy Christmas!

Yes.
All trans is “over-diagnosed trans”.
No one is “trans.” It is not real. No one can be “diagnosed” with “trans” because that is not real. It is all lies and abuse. Not real.
This line is genius: “Our goddess pantheon looks suspiciously like our mothers with a larger costume budget.”

Thanks for the insight and honesty.
God, you're good.
