uhhh when did we start using "dolls" for "trans women"

I mean, I *like* the term, it's just kinda retro. Like they show up in private detectives' offices and invariably pull a gat and get a soft focus close up.

@Leucrotta I... are you sure you're not seeing the dollposting discourse thing

Follow

@amaranth I might be. I have no clue there's even a dollposting discourse right now. Just suddenly some trans women started using (reclaiming?) the term.

@Leucrotta yeah, there's this whole subculture/kink thing about dolls and witches and it recently came to the forefront because there was some discourse about a minor doing it

and there's like. a manifesto floating around. a short one.
