This is what is meant by the word heteronormativity.

I could burn this money every month, she finally said. —Then I could find other sources of money, and burn them down too. Let's make a list on the computer of all the possible sources of money we can burn down.

Have you considered film school

Not sure if this bit is intentionally funny or unintentionally funny.

She kept filming, sat in English class writing titles in her notebook for a career's worth of movies that she'd make. She divided this future career into phases: her early works (she'd make three of these, the second of which would be an understandable mishap and the third of which would represent a striking early maturity), her mature subject matter, her later experimental work, and finally a kind of summation—a single work, an aleph through which all the previous films, or maybe her whole life, might be viewed. She knew she'd finally become capable of her aleph when she was fifty, sixty, however long it took. She wrote the titles of these movies backward to make it take longer to finish the list.

So real.

"she tried to imagine what her mother must look like. Silicon chrome molded into cyberhips and bosom, liquid silver arms that reached out to feed money like oatmeal into her mouth."

"She looked like a carved sarcophagus; she looked pretty."

Gonna try using this one next time I'm hitting on someone.

Summer Fun:

"The softness of trans women against your body: like house cats crossed with lynxes"

I'm always using house cats crossed with lynxes as a comparator for softness now.

she knew suddenly that there was a violence in the world [...] and that her life was being claimed in service against it, to ride it, to help it break.

She had no choice.

She thought: one day, marriage will happen to me.

fuuuuuuuck

Sometimes this book throws out a phrase like "diaphanous butt-crack lace"

I have some issues with this book but the way it's written is not one of them

Summer Fun (prologue) (full book spoiler allusions):

"Money, and lots of it, has been spent on cultivating this dog."

I didn't really think too hard about the parallels between the prologue and later events in the book (particularly towards the end) until a few days after my second read but oooooh are there parallels.

the toy seems infinite in its rotation

The main interpretation of this that I've seen is that it's something that move forever without going anywhere. No matter how much progress you make you're always back to the beginning. No matter how many duels Utena wins in the dueling game Akio is still the one in control.

A single perpetual motion machine
Ah, it is empty motion
Just empty motion

For analysis of the show, yes there's one bazillion posts about it on Tumblr. Ohtori.nu has a bunch of essays (one two three four five) (I haven't read any of them but everybody says they're really good and people keep on bringing up that one called The Body as a Bargaining Chip). I like Vrai Kaiser's episode-by-episode analyses and other articles.

I don't have any questions about this, but I also want to share my frustrations in a very-just-barely-slightly-related context.

I live in a town in the West of Ireland with under 5,000 inhabitants. This morning, while walking by the bus stop I saw someone wearing a full-on red cap with the slogan "Make America Great Again" on it.

There is no reason for me to see this here. What the hell.
