I also have a cousin who has "YOLO" tattooed onto his right bicep because "The first time he ever heard the phrase, and understood it to mean 'you only live once' he was inspired because that is how he has always lived his life, and he claims to have literally never had any idea at all of the general meme use of the phrase"

I just think it's hard to justify trans appropriation as a sole (or even leading) reason for the prominence of chokers.

Not that it isn't a thing, but I'm pretty sure there's more to it --- I would be interested in an anthropological explanation, for example

EDIT: Googling "choker anthropology" gives me the fucking store, lol
