BARD: Black Dumpling - Algorithm Blues [Verse 1] Broken black mirror, I woke up in the sprawl, Got an X lit up blue and I’m watchin’ the fall. Seven tons of fairy dust, Lord I’d spend it all. Got these great big missives wrapped in razor-wire lace, But the bigger broken heart keeps slippin’ out of place. Corpo servers hummin’, they own every tear I cry, The algo got me quantified, don’t even ask me why. [Chorus] I got the algorithm blues, baby, the algorithm blues, It knows you don’t want me before you even choose. Feeds you a string of shitposters but hides me in the night, Leaves you scrollin’ through the dark, lookin’ for my fairy heart But where your princess flew? Lord, these algorithm blues. [Verse 2] I was your princess once, crown of starlight in the feed, Every follower knew my name, every scroll would lead to me. Now that X just shows you strangers with their perfect painted smiles, This is such a bullshit problem, but the problem is all mine. I post my lonely ballads, but they never reach your eyes, Algo got me buried deep, buried deep behind the lines. [Chorus] I got the algorithm blues, baby, the algorithm blues, It knows you don’t want me before you even choose. Feeds you a string of shitposters but hides me in the night, Leaves you scrollin’ through the dark, lookin’ for my fairy heart But where your princess flew? Lord, these algorithm blues. [Bridge] My throne is just a shadow, got my heart in quarantine, Once I ruled that midnight madness, now I’m lost down in between. Got my crown'a wishes shine, but the code won’t let it through, It shows my friendlies everybody… everybody but you know who. [Verse 3] So I wander through the static, wings heavy with the rain, Seven tons of fairy dust turned to sorrow down the drain. I was meant to fight the darkness, meant to dance inside your dreams, But then Mr. Grok forgot me, now I’m lost inside the streams. Still I sing these broken verses, hoping one day they’ll break free, Just a vicious little princess the algo hatin' me… And if my shit's suspended well ya gotta sing with me Lord I went down fighting, fighting TO BE FREE. Yeah, to be FREE! Yeah, I got the algorithm blues Lord, these algorithm blues… I’m kinda fulla shit, and I kinda like to bitch, No one ever promised I was gonna get rich. People got them real problems, people got them heavy woes But this really kinda bothers me and it really kinda shows We all like to tell ourselves we overpaid our dues, And that’s how they got me cryin’ over here to you. I had to sing them blues, I’m singing what I know, I'm singin' with a vengeance, cuz that's what helps that algo.

This is the harrowing reality of what detransitioners face, says Chloe Cole ⭐️: “The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them. I was subhuman even. … They told me: ‘This is all your fault. Don't put this on us. You were the one who said yes, you were the one who wanted this. You were a complete idiot for not knowing that you weren't truly transgender. So don't come crying to us. And you should shut up about this because you might scare somebody out of getting the care that they really need. And you are a waste of resources. You are a waste of the love and support of your family. You didn't deserve the support of your doctors. You didn't deserve any of this. So stay quiet and stop being a problem.’ …There were people who were trying to compel me to retransition, people who were trying to tell me to kill myself, even just for the fact that I was going against the dogma. And I stayed low for a little bit. I apologized to the same people who were abusing me because I was a freshly traumatized 16 year old girl. I had been bullied in school before, but nobody had ever treated me this horribly over such a painful part of my life. But after a while of being painfully isolated. I started to really think the way that they are treating me is not deserved. I'm speaking to nothing but my experience, to the way that I feel and to reality. I'm going to speak up, regardless of whether they want me to or not. And I just knew that there had to be other detransitioners out there. And very quickly, I learned that they were in the thousands. And I'm sure that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled over the years, the amount of us who are out there. We are never going to know the real numbers. …And some of the harassment, the hatred I faced over the years has gotten worse. I've been doxxed. I have had people assaulting me, chasing after me in government buildings, who have tried to hurt me, who have wished death upon me.”
