"Pose" is an American drama launched by FX in 2018, which describes the social life of a group of transgender people and gays living in New York in the 1980s, including the beginning of the Trump era, the society and literature of the downtown area, and LGBT culture.
Transgender people are people who have barriers to their gender identity. In layman's terms, it means that the psychological self cannot accept the physical self.
In the play, women's clothing is not a word that is easy to say. They are at the bottom of the chain of contempt, and together with gays, they form a community, where they regularly hold dance parties that showcase their most beautiful selves. For them, the ball is indispensable in life, and they have taken off the vests of another identity - most of them are male prostitutes, thieves, drug dealers, and homeless people. In the ball, everyone is a lively queen. king.
The resident DJ at the ball likes to use the word bitch to describe everyone, and it's a nickname to call people a bitch under the humorous dialogue. There is no doubt that bitch and cunt are swear words in the popular sense, especially cunt, and go fuck yourself are the most obscene. The Chinese meaning of bitch has been shuffled on the Internet, in addition to calling others prostitutes, it has generally referred to some women who love vanity and behave indecently. However, you must know that the meaning of words is constructed. Today, no one wants to be a bitch. After cultural re-endowment, it is entirely possible for a bitch to become a new queer image, and "Pose" contributed a force.
Not only do they call themselves bitches, they act bitches too.
Tear today, form an alliance tomorrow
They all want to be legends in the community, so they take credit and steal ideas.
Will poach to strengthen their family.
They often tear up, and the dance party is the scene of their large-scale quarrel.
At the same time, they cherish each other because of love, and will lend a helping hand when the other is in trouble.
Beautiful clothes, perfect makeup
They would steal the museum for the prom theme.
When you get your salary, you will get dressed as soon as possible, and dress up beautifully to go to the dance.
Pursuing money, how to sell chrysanthemum
A good percentage of them are sex workers and are not ashamed of it, with a naked and loving attitude towards money.
Even the episode in the play has a strong flavor of money.
Ain't nothing going on but the rent:
"What can you do for me?
No romance without finance.
Boy, nothing in life is free, that's why I'm asking you what can you do for me.
You have to pay something if you want to be with me…”
All of these things, both men and women, will be done in jungle society. But women will be called bitches, men will be called careerists, but they will not be called ducks, and they will not be derogated by gender.
The pop king Taylor was also called a bitch when she was fighting with Kardashian, and Kuroko brushed snakes in her IG comments, alluding to her vicious heart. In addition to writing Mean and Shake it off to scold Heizi, Taylor, who never disappoints, used snakes to represent herself in her new album Reputation, which also achieved very impressive results. You say I'm a bitch, okay, then I'll make a fortune with my bitch.
These things are what they should do. They have their own defined reputations. They don't follow other people's religions, they only follow the religion they created. This kind of style is lacking even in the explosive London star Charlotte in "Famous Shu". Even if you claim to be a 10th-level connoisseur, at the end of the day you will find that your moral code is completely ineffective on them. Also, no matter what they do, they are not accepted by the mainstream society, and carrying another self-loathing archway is tantamount to suicide.
It doesn't matter what a bitch is, the key is what you need to be cool, stylish, real and soul-stirring.
Even the subtitles can not help but add "bitch to the sky" as an unofficial tribute to the people of the mainland. The bitch has become a kind of fan, a kind of cool, a cultural symbol.
Indeed, the show is a voice for the transgender community, and the main cast is also transgender. But it is precisely this absolutely niche perspective that opens up the audience's great river. Everyone has pursued the truth of themselves, everyone has hoped to be recognized by others, and everyone has dreamed of Yanli. If you've done all of the above, then these trans people are no different from you and me.
