        This was not fun to write, to be honest, but I've been circling these thoughts for a few years and they just needed to be on a page somewhere.

        Am glad people are seeing themselves and their experiences with mainstream representation in this. I obviously wrote this with a very personal focus rather than trying to draw grandiose conclusions about everyone's cultures and identities, but it is obviously not without echoes.

        The style of my essays/blogs have leaned more and more heavily on the "I" over the years and I'm not sure how I feel about this given my aversion to the whole "a woman can only ever be an expert on herself" truism. *cue more navel gazing*

        my dad also used to jokingly threaten to eat my pets (I had a duck and a rabbit), and the fact that that doesn't carry anything like the same baggage is...*argh*

        I think your concluding point about its being a systemic issue is a crucial one: writers put a lot of pressure on themselves but ultimately you can only tell the story that's yours to tell. The publishing machine picking out the stories that suit dominant culture's purposes...

        Isn't something writers can really control. (Also I learnt a couple of years ago that both my parents have eaten dog meat and I found the stories hilarious, but awkward to tell in a Western setting ... )

        Was having an adjacent discussion yesterday with friends regarding trans narratives. Particularly the way we self police and flatten out the messiness of gender because we don’t want to give ammo to anti-lgbt jerks. How that eliminates space for different narratives too.

        Yeah :/ I been having those adjacent thoughts as well and, am a little sheepish abt this, perhaps it says something of that flattening that I'm not confident enough of my own enby-ness as a nonbinary woman (or exactly super out) to speak of to that side of things more explicitly.

        @EnnisRookBashe if a major 50 million dollar pub offers to pub your stuff & they only want things where trans ppl are complicated & edgy (bc you're writing your authentic trans truth) rather than any fluff you might write too, THAT's the problem. Them reinforcing biased narrative

        The frustration for me is that the fluff might sometimes still get published but it just... doesn't seem to sell as well? Fewer copies were published or fewer prominent review. Less "buzz", etc. So it's making less of a dent on the overall narratives.
