    so it all began years ago when ikea made the shark plushy and because as trans women we have zero things to relate to some girly was like omg the mouth is pink then white and blue like tranny flag (plus its a big shark so sexy)!!! then via the famous chronically online autistic transfem networks such as reddit / tumblr / discord .... mastodon ....... it spread through silly memes, kinky underwear selfies, anime profile pictures, and a general affection-starving trauma than only an oversized shark plushy can fill. lot of tgirlies buys them, it becomes an icon like if its in the corner of a bedroom selfy it screams TRANS (invisible to the eyes of the cis people), some even take it to the pride events, its in the name of forum and instances, of course there is porn with it because we're all sluts (its in the news), etcaetera etcaetera. until today's day where it feels like when the doctor prescribe your first estrogen they also add blahaj or something.
    and because whatever counter projections will be integrated in the product itself by capitalism ikeas started to brand the plushy like hashtag ally like hehe we know so cool right ??? but of course it sounds the same way than your dad saying 67

    why i seems to lowkey not associate myself with it you may ask? well well you see blahaj girly is chronically online, probably autistic and depressed (haha just like me) but the difference is that i'm not like the other girls :) so its hard to pin down but now blahaj has become a stereotype of trans girls like with trans fem friends sometimes we're like "i swear she has a blahaj" when she's like a gamer that drink monster energy drink dressed in a pink miniskirt and programmer socks bought on amazon that probably does the most kinky porn you've never heard of and also is a puppy. that should not be confused with the liliths who is also chronically online but rather on the other side of spectrum it's like a goth bubblegum situation. one has the gen z long sharp eyeliner the other has the messy cybersigil eyeliner. not the same. however some liliths do have blahaj but let's not go there. (i say all of that with the big love, i didn't choosed my culture but long live blahaj lilith and puppy girls <3)

    @doriane i have one because i got my girlfriend one as a joke "you need this to be properly trans" thing (together with the catears and the choker), so she got me one as well, but of course it's the aliexpress rip-off (and it's purple!) because supporting ikea is icky with their whole fascism-supporting and forced labour and chopping down nature reserves history, but i also feel like i belong in a different chronically online depressed and autistic trans girl subspecies so it feels appropriating to be seen with it. it's like with the crows, yeah they look the same to people who have never bothered to look at them closely, but they are actually a bunch of different species and subspecies and once you've learned to look at them in this way you can never unsee it (which is why i have dozens of people who always tell me "i think of you whenever i see a crow!" and i love that this is my legacy)

    @doriane but

    i have this giant plush crocodile my sister got me when i was born. it is roughly blahaj-size and shape. and it has been with me my whole life. and i always figured it came from a toy store, because where else would you go buy a plushie for the sibling you never wanted, back in 1992? and i always vividly imagined what it would have been like, my dad taking my weird sister (she never changed, she's one of these blue-haired goth girls with a phd in archeology) to buy a plushie, and instead of choosing something normal, she picks the giant 1,5m crocodile

    well like four years ago i stumbled across an identical plush crocodile. and i bought it for my girlfriend, because she always liked my crocodile a lot and well it's cute to have something connecting when you're in a long-distance relationship, right

    @doriane well that one still had the tag. and it's from ikea. which makes sense - i was born in a hospital two cities over (because that was the migrant city and my mom never wanted to set foot into the racist hospital my sister was born at ever again) and the ikea is on the way there, and my dad never knew what to do with kids, so dropping her off at ikea is sensible

    i looked through all the old ikea catalogues, and it's in none of them. i got the cryptid pre-blahaj ikea trans plushie. which feels oddly gender-affirming.

    and my mom still said there were no signs, pfff

    @doriane anyway i once dressed up as a trans girl for a halloween party, like the whole thing - catears, choker, hyperfemme dress, programming socks, can of monster energy, and of course carrying a blahaj

    nobody got it. cis people are weird
