#if they didn't want me to interpret him as a trans woman then they shouldn't have given him so many identity issues

I do what I can because I must.

It was awhile ago that I randomly ran across the post informing me of it, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find.

Fuck yeah.

I wonder if that's part of the reason people have a hard time approaching the transmisogny argument in good faith, not just because the reason people loved it wasn't really for the movie itself but for the community spaces it created at a time where those just didn't exist for most queer people, but also because the ambiguity of "transvestite" for FNF makes people lean more cross dresser/drag artist than trans fem/woman. Like, when I first went to a showing it felt a lot more...idk kink event/drag show that was supposed to be a bit off and messy and imperfect, doing the whole queer people embracing slurs and sexuality and gender fuckery to make the cishets uncomfortable, I guess. It was a space for queer freedom, not like, an honest attempt at good representation. Of course though none of that makes the trans women and fems who do find it to be uncomfortable or don't want anything to do with it or wish we'd move on wrong, but yeah I wonder if that's part of the miscommunication between people who defend it and people who have a lot of problems with it, maybe we're just interpreting the characters in completely different ways?

I always interpreted him as a reflection of the queer community in general, rather than any specific thing.
