Lotte 'just an idiot' May

Yeah it's a good one, I always really enjoy Cayla/Ceicocat's videos

Kay mentioned this last night and said she’d screen this for me because I’m afraid it will make me mad. After we both finished the series we talked about the ending every day for about a week. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about Inside Mari but they’re hard to spill out into written words without a lot of contextual scaffolding and I’m likely to piss people off unintentionally so I haven’t written much about it. But like Kay said last night, I hope this presents a different reading of the ending than the one we came to, which is that Inside Mari is transphobic in a profound way that few but the most closeted trans people could ever be. The author just openly refuses to see the world as a place where trans people can exist ontologically, like we can’t have a category, can’t be considered as a way of being in the world. I do keep reading his work, though, because it’s so good right up to the point where he has to confront the ontological reality of trans people explicitly, where he 100% of the time fumbles in a way that is so disappointing because he perfectly and in detail portrays every other aspect of the trans experience in a way that feels so loving.
