    oh yeah for sure, it’s an allegory that can be associated in a lot of ways. I just chose being trans because I’m trans and could explain it better. Honestly its a pretty amazing meme

    this discussion reminds me a lot of the movie “The Substance” since TONS of people could relate to its allegory. I’ll give a short version that explains the struggle of it: an actor got fired for being too old, so she took a black market substance that splits her in to her current self, and a perfect version of herself. She swaps bodies every week, and the movie is challenging topics of beauty standards and getting older, but a LOT of different people related to it for wildly different reasons.

      the Pills That Make You Green series is about the trans experience written by a trans woman, but yeah this one can be interpreted many ways
