are you ready for the literary event of the year, /lit/?

>Darcie Wilder's literally show me a healthy person is a careful confession soaking in saltwater, a size B control top jet black pantyhose dragged over a skinned knee and slipped into unlaced doc martens. Blurring the lines of the written word, literally show me a healthy person is a portrait of a young girl, or woman, or something; grappling with the immediate and seemingly endless urge to document and describe herself and the world around her. Dealing with the aftermath of her mother's death, her father's neglect, and the chaotic unspoken expectations around her, this novel is a beating heart at the intersection of literature, poetry, and the internet. Darcie Wilder elevates and applies direct pressure, but the wound never stops bleeding.

excerpts:
>in third grade when everyone cool had glasses like arthur from arthur i faked having bad eyesight at the eye doctor's but i wanted to be sure that they thought my eyes were bad enough to need glasses so i said i couldn't see colors and they stopped the test and i had to wait in the waiting room and my mom went to cry in the bathroom and they guilted me into confessing the truth and i had to retake the whole test and then they dilated my pupils so i really couldnt see and it was so scary and they gave me fake glasses that i was too ashamed to ever actually wear and now my mom is dead and i have astigmatisms

>grammar question: do you wake up "with terror" or "in terror"?

>what if banks was yahe mommy and you have to vosit and say i love you and then have to one day bury

praise:
>"Darcie Wilder's literally show me a healthy person is a book of aphorisms and short texts in the vein of Fernando Pessoa, if Pessoa grew up on Blink-182, found his voice on Twitter and had cum in his tights. Like the internet, what at first appears fragmented and tethered to fleeting moments of pop, builds movingly into a more timeless narrative of death, love, longing and disappointment that flows between all of us."
— Melissa Broder, So Sad Today

>"literally show me a healthy person reads like the schizo-monologue of a young, wired maniacwho's given up trying to figure out where and why the fuck they are, why anything is what it is, why anything. In here, all rules are off, all time is broken, and all ideas are drugs. Who the hell writes like this about daily life? Darcie Wilder does."
— Blake Butler, 300,000,000

>"This book is what they have you drink so that you'll throw up all the poison. Or it's just more, better poison. I don't know, I'm not a doctor."
— DVS, rapper

Some of us are masochists.

Some do, some don't. You find transsexual prostitutes and pornstars at the far end of *that* spectrum, and some are fine with chasers.

I have to say I agree with those that dislike chasers, though. Your dick is not a sound basis for a relationship.
>>

no dude, YOUR dick is not a sound basis for a relationship

>>9241333

Dick.
>>
>>9241304

Realistically though a chaser is their best bet for any kind of relationship. "Cultural Marxism" hasn't progressed to the point where many guys would overlook a trap's biological sex, and to be quite honest it probably never will.
>>
>>9241376
>"Cultural Marxism" hasn't progressed to the point where many guys would overlook a trap's biological sex
Sure it has. Where I am, and in my age group, at least. But, let's be honest: the places where people are likely to come out are the same places people are likely to accept them.
>and to be quite honest it probably never will.
This is demonstrably false. Plenty of societies have been more dick-happy than even ours now.

And, lastly, just because chasers are willing to fuck you doesn't make them the best bet for a relationship. Kinda like how you might have fifty jars with holes in them but you'll still want to go looking for the one whole jar if you want to carry water.
>>
>>9241390

Socially liberal people don't have very many babies, not even enough to replace themselves. It's a biological dead end. Dumb reactionary jerks like myself are going to inherit the earth. Abdullah and Pajeet aren't very big on trans acceptance.

You underestimate how much liberalism has permeated our society. It's indistinguishable from westernism.

>Abdullah and Pajeet aren't very big on trans acceptance.
Nuh-uh. Muhammad doesn't say shit about trannies, so it's fine. Encouraged, in fact -- of course homosexuals are really trannies too scared to come out. And as for Hindus -- transsexuals are a big part of their religious history.

Did you just assume their ideology?
>>
>>9241431
Also, just to rub it in a little bit, Hindus are actually pretty big on the whole "genderfluid half-trans dog" thing.

This writing is a verbal transcript of all the momentary thoughts that go through a person's mind, complete with tons of useless detritus. I can't deny there's some value in it, insofar as it seems to expose raw consciousness in some sense, but at the same time the very process of putting these fragments into writing seems to endow them with a sort of premediation which contradicts their supposed ephemerality, which is what I don't like about this. So in that sense I like the idea of what this is supposed to be, but I think it's impossible to execute this sincerely.

You're retarded if you think the average Muslim or Hindu is going to be okay with trannies.

You're also retarded if you think the average white redneck is okay with trannies.

These are the people who are breeding. They can and will undo all that nice progress that was made from 1960-2017

You're most likely going to be lumped in with the rest of the decadent, immoral LBGTQ+ people. You made a common cause with them and you'll suffer their fate, whatever it is.

There's not going to be any more "bicurious" men who are willing to fuck a tranny.

It's just a simple biological reality that socially liberal people are dying out due to their low birthrates.

Third world peasants don't take kindly to sexual deviancy, and even if the muslims tolerate you the rest of them won't.

I guess what I'm saying is don't get too optimistic about the future because the world is moving towards less liberalism, not more.
