        CW: misgendering “Born in the wrong body” is SUCH outdated terminology. Transness is much more complex than that. Also, Boyne loves misgendering Jessica, his trans character. He’s overly-fascinated with misgendering her in a way that fetishizes her transitionpic.twitter.com/1bqtGfLB5c

        CW: misgendering, transphobia This is DEEPLY ENRAGING It’s possible to write about the complex emotions associated with a loved one’s transition. But assuming the default reaction to a loved one’s transition is ENGAGING IN VIOLENT TRANSPHOBIA is TRANSPHOBICpic.twitter.com/qQtMXvLDp4

        My own YA novel has a second POV in part to explore those emotions. Part of his story arc is understanding why his ex is transitioning. But he keeps these feelings in his head. He apologizes when he makes mistakes He understands that someone else’s transition isn’t about him

        It doesn’t matter how “shocked” Sam is by Jessica transitioning. Transphobia is never okay. You don’t get a handful of free passes to inflict harm

        CW: transphobia Note that Boyne isn’t educating himself about trans issues to better support his trans friends. He’s doing it because he’s already decided to write a book about her. Because, even though he’s admittedly ignorant about his subject, he’s forging aheadpic.twitter.com/V3TPVnXEhB

        CW: surgery, transphobia, misgendering, sexism So Boyne asked MULTIPLE trans women gross questions about their genitals. Because once wasn’t enough to teach him better. Because he doesn’t realize that ASKING A WOMAN ABOUT HER PRIVATES IS DISGUSTINGpic.twitter.com/BFwZxgMigv

        Boyne on Linehan: “Gosh, doesn’t it suck when people promote intolerance by presenting themselves as champions of marginalized groups??? Women don’t need men to take care of them!” Except for the fictional trans woman Boyne’s written, who I doubt counts as a woman to himpic.twitter.com/HYzEz2wTAp

        Stop talking about trans people as if we’re difficult puzzles, Rorsarch blots, Greek tragedies to “understand.” Here’s what kids need to know: white heteropatriachal society assigns you a gender at birth based on measuring your bits. Sometimes it’s wrong. There. Easy.

        Look, John Boyne. Being an ally isn’t something you can half-ass. Because if you fuck up, trans people can die People will read this book when a loved one is transitioning. They’ll hear PROTECTING THEIR TRANSPHOBIC WORLDVIEW is more important than PROTECTING TRANS PEOPLE
