it feels fascinating, but also so weird. its like, archeology in some way, i barely know any trans people from my country, and finding old blogs documenting their existence in the past makes me feel like im discovering the history of my ancestors. i wonder where these girls are now… also, reading about youngshits and the archaic medical processes of transition somehow hits 20x harder coming from a css-less geocities page than from other places, despite nothing really having changed since then.


i will never miss the occasion to link lynn conway’s amazing website from the early 2000s https://ai.eecs.umich.edu/people/conway/conway.html
the archives of 420chan’s /cd/ board are equally awe-inspiring https://web.archive.org/web/20110705222900/http://boards.420chan.org/cd/
