We had a patriarchy, and then global forced feminization came.

It definitely can be lonely at times.

Personally, I find that the vantage point with the best view is usually one that is on the outside of the circle. Whatever that circle may be.

Anyway, that's another thing to keep in mind as you read.
Eh, I'm talking your ear off. So, I'll cut this short.

When I transitioned in the 90s, I had to essentially construct my own "Dorley Hall" and I transitioned in community of supportive cis women. That was immensely helpful but with certain limitations given experiential differences and issues the come up between marginalized people and dominant groups.

Some of us have this and some of us do not. Dorley Hall is a "what if" scenario that asks what transition might be like under far better conditions than is often the norm. (Ironically, it occurs in a carceral setting but I think that irony is a deliberately pointed one.)

(As well as readily available medical assistance, of course.)
This is something that is hard to come by in the real world for us as we transition. We're a tiny populace and it's hard to find others to exist in community with in real time.

One caveat that I should toss out regarding "2) Everything Else" is this: the series has a scenario which is, in a sense, an ideal environment for trans women to transition in: a ready-made community of other trans women with "elder"/experienced trans women who have already been through transition.

If you were reading a book focusing on cis women's lives and communities, you would have already encountered common narratives/perspectives across literature and other media to draw from.
There's just not much representing trans women and other trans people.

Sure. You're very welcome. It's not like our lives are commonly portrayed in literature and other forms of media and what *is* out there is often highly inaccurate and filtered through the negative bias of cis authors/media producers.

Looking at it through that lens, Dorley Hall is a morally questionable violent reaction to a morally questionable violent world.
Yeah, it's a mess. But moral objections or not, as the series goes on, it does make clear that it's addressing patriarchy and its violence in this manner.

What's the full scope of damage that patriarchy and other hierarchical patterns incur? I think we're living through it in the united states right now. The Trump regime is racist patriarchy running at full speed.
Collectively, this is what these toxic patterns bring.
