Okay, so As far as I can tell (from the exactly one conversation I've had on this), for cis women the positive read of "bimbo" is rooted in a girl power fantasy, it's the Elle Woods in LEGALLY BLONDE thing of being pretty and chipper and materialistichttps://twitter.com/HenryWHall/status/1278056857152749574 …

And there's a sex-positivity element to it as well, like, here, go ahead, have the sex life YOU want, no shame, take control of your life, be the bimbo Which is, as far as I can tell, almost completely dissimilar how trans women use the word, practically a false cognate

I do find it really fascinating how "himbo" is one of those full-circle etymologies, because "bimbo" LITERALLY ORIGINALLY MEANT "himbo", because it's a male word
