This, plus. Let us write radical work. Publish us *before* you understand us. Let us explain ourselves to you! Everyone has been holding your shitty little hands but the industry was transmisogynistic even at it's best. It should be obvious by now, at least, that business as usual was a mistake...
I hate that expectation for trans writers to perform suffering in their work. It feels like cis readers find it redemptive to read, like they've done a moral duty by hearing it out which means they don't need to worry about the real trans suffering going on around them.
