Brigette makes a brilliant video about how trans people's bodies are portrayed in art, and how nudity is presented through the lens of textile cis-hetero Patriarchy. This is why we as nudists need to be conscious and accept trans people. Because they deserve to be respected and love their bodies like anyone else!
Something I'm seeing more and more recently is that choice anxiety makes me frequently over-spend on books, simply because my brain is so random in which books it will hook on to. I'm an avid reader, I do so all the time on public transport, and have a particular love sapphic and trans-inclusive romantacy novels, in addition to Warhammer 40K and even some Terry Pratchett from time to time. The problem is, often it'll be a crapshoot if I can become fixated on a book or not.
I'll get exited by the premise, buy the book... along with two or three others I want, then when I try and start it, by brain says "No" and makes me fixate on a different book from my backlog. Or I have to immediately buy something else because I'm craving a very specific experience.
For instance, I finally got done reading a Warhammer 40K novel, which I found to be a slog. I'd already dropped it once in favour of a pre-ordered self-help book on Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and even then I couldn't stop myself from buying a different sapphic fantasy book based around Greek mythology which I'd been eyeing for a while...
..only to find that it's a contemporary setting, and therefore my brain rejects the fixation because it wasn't what I expected from the description. I was going to go back to a book that's been sitting on my shelf for months, but there's a newly released book that I'd eyed in Waterstones, which is now my current reading fixation.
I have almost an entire shelf of unread books that sounded appealing, but for one reason or another, I just could not latch onto. There doesn't even need to be a reason, just that trying to read them feels like trying to swim upstream.
Does anyone else have this problem? Have you or anyone you know found a way to get around this which doesn't involve constantly spending extra on new books?
