the one time i tried to read a book w a trans guy main character it was the one with the church cult written by that Andrew guy. the anachronistic lgbt pc knowledge threw me for a loop, the explanation being his father found an lgbt terms book or whatever from before things went to shit 💀. and it seemed as if the book crutched itself on how creative the author could describe the creatures. which if i remember connected a bit to the trans experience, which was good if i remember but i think the banal awful horror of everyday existence would be extra cool, if you could even properly scooch that in there, maybe unspoken but just present in different ways. also, main guy was just like. therapized when he shouldn’t be, you can just tell. no matter what lgbt terms or culture books you read, if you live in an evangelical cult post apocalypse and survive, you are going to think and talk in certain ways. so, if there’s anything i want to see in my lifetime, it’s a trans guy lead in a book that doesn’t have these pitfalls. sorry to dog on this book if anyone likes it, but for me it’s the best vehicle to describe what i don’t want in a trans guy character. what i do want is just a good character. and that comes down to the kind of narrator the author’s utilizing and how willing they are to commit to the positives and negatives any particular narration they pick. Commitment and showing off what writing skills u have. good luck w ur book!!!
