Transmogrify! by g. haron davis
Did not finish book. Stopped at 14%.
look i know a short story collection is not its editor and all that, but as a trans guy, this editor having started spouting bioessentialism on twitter after getting slight critique is turning my stomach and really kicking the dysphoria part of my brain and im not dealing with that just to read some short stories.
(for context, there are no trans women authors in this collection and only one story with a trans girl mc. when a review on goodreads pointed this out, g. haron davis went on a twitter rant where they essentially said trans women are male and all trans afab people are women-lite. gross, ew, im not dealing with that behavior especially from someone who is also trans jesus fucking christ. fuck bioessentialism all my homies hate bioessentialism)
if a collection of stories about magical trans people says “magic is for everyone” on the front, then yknow maybe you should include trans women in your collection. just a thought
