On Trans Narratives 

Callie Wright, in an interview on the podcast “Gender Reveal” made a really good point about how our stories are often told in such a way as to not be about *us* but to be about the situation and struggles and adaptations of those around us.

This is what happens when cis people tell our stories. Even when they do it well, they center the cis characters. The cis partners of trans folks. The parents of trans children. The adult children of older trans folks.

Our perspectives aren’t considered nearly as relatable and so they are set aside.

And this is one of the reasons I love “Nevada”—at the end of the day it’s half Maria’s story and half James’ but in no way is it about cis people.

One day I hope I have a story worth telling, and you can best believe it will center us.

1. We've heard it
2. It's not the same
3. It doesn't always work
4. THAT DOESN'T GET RID OF THE PROBLEM

"I sent them a message" can mean you texted them or that you threatened to shoot them with a gun, and I think that's beautiful

@MopeyWitch@eldritch.cafe you are too cute, i cannot handle it

@wilbr @kiilas it was pretty much standard practice to respect the pronouns of trans characters in medieval texts. The best-known example is a 13th c. French poem called Silence, in which the author changes the pronouns of the main character depending on how the character is presenting at that point in the story. The majority of texts I've read follow this pattern

gender stuff 

@fox@notbird.site if you'd be safe doing it it's honestly not necessarily Bad it's just. very awkward. for a long time. but it's a really bad idea just in general, too, and i don't think i'd've done it either in person or to someone i had anything approaching a positive relationship with
