@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.

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.

I wonder if there's a sort of bias towards bleak/depressing/edgy stories in general that ends up having much more of an effect on what stories by marginalised writers are allowed to publish than it does on non-marginalised ones?

Complicated, I suspect, since fluff does sell (and sell very well), but authors with marginalised identities are very often read as Important and thus can’t possibly be writing Fun Trashy Reads. But that’s going into a whole world of stuff I just don’t have the numbers for.
