i onow its good if a book makes me mad, that means when i write about it ill have something to say. but i really do dislike the slow cooker of anger it puts me in where i just stew and stew until i can put words in order... this time its even more infuriating cause on a fundamental level i wont be able to write about it since my paper is about the translation and not the content! yelling screaming biting into wood etc

#mo talks #i just finished girl woman other and boy do i dislike the treatment of the one nonbinary character #you cannot convince me evaristo is saving the transphobic rethoric of the rest of her book by #pulling an educational PSA a la We should be happy and grateful things change #this is my opinion rn at least. changes possible?#currently im feeling very. youre writing about womens issues/histories and include a trans character but instead of it being a transwoman #its a nonbinary person who gets their gender and pronouns invalidated by the most important adult in their life and all this in front of #continued transphobia from other characters AND being one of the impliedeanings for Other in the book title #like way to go making nonbinary people women lite again im ready to scream #WHY COULD YOU NOT HAVE WRITTE A TRANS WOMAN EVARISTO?#is it because essentially your book stands on bioessentialist feet of inherent difference between men and women?#also the ending was whack af in my opinion but who am i to judge
