summer, this was amazing! thank you for bringing this sentiment to light, and reading your personal experience of feeling alienated from the perceptions of girlhood because of racial and cultural ideals gave me another perspective on why the pop feminist "return to girlhood" movement is rather flawed. you've inspired me to write more about my experiences as a tomboy then baby butch lesbian in this space. although this is a distinct lens, there are some similarities in our experience. i will definitely urge readers to check your post out!
What a lovely piece Summer! I may send it to my cousin, she’s half Iranian and has expressed similar feelings to me so I think she’d enjoy it :) I of course loved everything but I especially loved how you discussed the need for the conversation surrounding girlhood to be separated from consumerism. That’s such an interesting take that I will be thinking more about. PS I’d compliment your butterfly clips in the bar bathroom too 🫶🏻
