A little memorial at the local dump
this hits home for me. I have a near 14 year old daughter and this is the struggle I see with her constantly.
It's not that she's particularly non-binary/trans/androgynous, it's that she's ashamed/embarrassed to be a girl or be perceived as one. She still likes many traditional feminine things, (ie hair/nails/makeup, romance novels, cutesy characters, etc), and she has no real desire for any kind of masculine interests...
It's as though being a woman is inferior. It's "girly". And that's what is being internalized. And part of that, I think, is also the culture's post-ironic loathing for authenticity. Ala, being passionate or earnestly enjoying something is seen as being "cringe". So, being a girl, who likes girly things, is cringe.
I think both of these things ratchet the internalized misogyny. With the former being what turns the ratchet.
