Going through perimenopause and this is a fascinating concept to explore

I am an Old™ and am going through the hormonal changes that accompanies being a woman of my age. Women in their full sexual capacity are routinely dehumanized by society at large anyway (especially now that my country has taken a hard right turn into fascism). It's only more prevalent once your body is no longer viewed as a sexual object to be obtained and used.

A popular trope amongst occult practitioners is the triad of Maiden, Mother, and Crone. The idea of the crone is a voidpunk concept in and of itself, because once your body is in the twilight era of existence, what you have left is your mind, your experience. Voidpunk dares to ask the question: what do you do with yourself once your humanity stop being acknowledged? Once your ability to reproduce is gone? Or once your mind ages out?

Younger people drawn to voidpunk are grappling with outlier bodies and sexualities, that is to say, bodies that society can't exploit either for sexual gratification or reproduction and you have no other choice but to redefine yourself according to your own mind and experience, without taking into account how your body keeps the score. I'm curious to see how the idea of voidpunk moves forward and how people use it in terms of reconciling the chasm between their body and their consciousness.
