Hey, has anyone who's seen I Saw The TV Glow seen any good articles/posts discussing the themes of femininity/womanhood or specifically transfeminity in the movie? I want to read some analysis from that perspective but most of the analysis I can find is taking the approach of like, "transness" as an all-encompassing experience (or even from the experiences of trans men and non-binary people) & I think I'd really like to read something specifically focused on that aspect considering the protagonist is transfem herself

#i saw the tv glow #scenes like owen's unwillingness to appraoch his father & the whole dynamic of discovery through a 'girls' tv show with the pink opaque #present a really interesting narrative abt feminity specifically but i cant find anyone digging into it #like the situation here is that by searching i saw the tv glow transfem i found 3 people come out as transmasc which like. congrats king bu #im dying here. i guess most people who think theyre cis men arent really gonna watch a movie with a reputation for being transgender #two more things: the movie is absolutely about being autistic as well but its about being trans AND autistic theres no interpretation of #this film that ignores that. you can't say this is 'about autism' this is about being a trans woman with autism #& also interesting themes of infantilization w/ transitioning presented as a childish idea by society via pink opaque being a kids show #isabella buried in overalls #self-discvovery during a sleepover #much to think about #ANYWAYS rambly tags over #transfem #trans woman #<--- is this the tag ppl use. hello
