      My other hot queer media take of the day is that I have close to zero interest in Tell Me Why specifically because of the much touted lack of deadnaming It's supposed to be about memory and flashbacks Of a teenager in the present day

      As in, the teenagers are flashing back to the past But the one who is trans is never deadnamed As I understand this means that the space of flashbacks is limited to only a couple of years JUST TO AVOID DEADNAMING

      It wouldn't just be to avoid deadnaming, would it? It would be to avoid actually showing them pre-transition Which isn't an automatically bad thing to do, of course, but I think the argument "We're tired of seeing the before and after" is a stronger argument than the other

      I glanced at some reviews and people are saying it as a positive thing that Tyler is trans and this fact is clearly acknowledged in the narrative but it's not central to it at all, the story has nothing directly to do with his transition

      It just seems like, and maybe I'm misunderstanding the mechanic, if the narrative is about memory, limiting things to memories of the last couple of years is super limiting

      I don't think it actually is limited to the last few years, looking at reviews It's just that the memories are shown from first person POV and are limited to brief snatches of events each sibling personally witnessed

      It's not THAT awkward that all of the memories from Tyler's POV as a young child avoid having anyone directly address him by name, if they're all of his own family

      And it's not an objective recording, it's his own memory If his deadname is painful to him then it makes sense his own memory would avoid it, just like it makes sense that his memories don't show him looking into a mirror or whatever

          Just like if Alyson knows these things are sensitive for Tyler then her own memories would similarly avoid painful topics Especially since the point of the flashbacks is they're looking for answers about their mother's past (not his)

          Her POV is where my disbelief would be stretched more

          Yeah I mean if that's how they handle it that's I know my own memories edit out my deadname, it's habit rather than trauma If they do anything interesting with that I guess it's interesting
