i feel like i have to say this occasionally to ensure i can never become brianna wu: yes, i am a trans woman. being trans owns actually. i am also cringe and if i weren't cringe i would not be worth listening to
i used to avoid mentioning i was trans out of some vague fear my colleagues might not have realised. and i suppose there's still that. but honestly the main reason these days is i feel much more attachment to the word “queer”, because “trans” is just one dimension
and what i mean by queer and cringe is that it it feels infinitely more real to self-describe as “kanbaru suruga from the monogatari series but amab or something” than “yes i am in the categories of ✅trans ✅unstraight ✅fem ✅unfemme”, fuck that, that lens is so reductive
