Is it weird that I nostalgically miss the trend of journalists' political fanfiction being published? Writing literal fiction makes a change from writing lies about trans people.

Just to be clear, when you say "chatting with some gals" were they gals at the start of the conversation or...

As a total Christine, I can't disagree. All trans women deserve a Paige in our life: fashionable, good with makeup, a desire to push you further in your feminine development, tall - that last one might just be me 🫢

I also completely forgot that this is the first chapter that the "ambivalence" of gender is mentioned, if you're interested in looking up this concept more we often refer to this as "cis by default". There are two main prevailing theories of intake members, "rotten eggs" and "cis by default"

All those weeks ago when I got excited about you meeting Aaron, this was what it was working towards. His reaction in this chapter and the beginnings of seeing how he processes Dorley are my favourite parts of book 2!

Point being, it's obvious to us what the issue is: we are visible but just seeing us isn't enough, it doesn't protect us from the people who have taken that increased visibility and used it against us etc.
And cis people act like that's some kind of revolutionary idea.

So, yeah, for this one particular person, you hit me harder than anything Dorley did.

I mean, 24 was hard but a) I knew Melissa was gonna be alright and b) I didn't identify with her as much as other people. But Jessie is just all my fears bundled into one. I am so terrified about having to be off hormones for surgery, and the thought of losing my hair - my mum's hair - makes me sick

This was a harder read than any of Dorley has been. You're too good at this.

I don't know how to explain it, but GvS has the same vibe as kids arguing over whether Superman or Goku would win in a fight

It's a very extreme analogy of a real life phenomenon faced by trans people. At a certain point, it becomes impossible to think of us as anything but who we currently are. In the case of Dorley it works because we don't want to think of our faves as having been pieces of shit.

This reaction is exactly why spending any time thinking or asking what people did to get put in Dorley is horrible. For example, we don't know even vaguely what Paige did, but given what we know the 2019 intake did you can imagine it's pretty bad. But you can't think of Paige that way, right?

"This is the absolute definition of biology, it's universally true."
Funny how it stops being true on the Irish border.
