reposting cause apparently the megathread got recreated after I posted and I'm mad at the world...
ok, I’m sharing cause I’m a little drunk. glares don’t judge.
I read a romance novel with a trans main character today and… uhh… wow… that makes a fucking difference, especially when she’s treated as like… a normal fucking person… and also the fact that she’s trans isn’t erased? is that really so narrow of a line? it must be because it happens so infrequently. but yeah… the book deals appropriately with her trauma around her parents kicking her out of the house at twelve and… ahem… I guess I’ll read more of these books to see if there are more trans characters?
why can’t people just treat us as people?? why does “treated like a human being” to be my fucking kink??
only real time i ever met a trans person was at magic the gathering friday night magic, i treated her like i would anyone else, by destroying her completely (at magic).
people don't want you most of the time, that's normal. a vanishingly small number of people will ever want any of us in particular. that doesn't change how we ought to treat each other.

tfw i treat people like human beings and then they're like 👀👀👀 and i'm like "oh i uh, what,"
in any case: glad you found a book that walked that line well :)
