FRAMING AGNES (2022) dir. Chase Joynt The pseudonymous Agnes was a pioneering transgender woman who participated in an infamous gender health study conducted at UCLA in the 1960s. Her clever use of the study to gain access to gender-affirming healthcare led to her status as a fascinating and celebrated figure in trans history. This bland fiction and nonfiction utilizes Agnes's story, along with others unearthed in long-shelved case files, to widen the frame through which trans history is viewed. Through a collaborative practice of reimagination, an all-star cast of trans performers, artists, and thinkers take on vividly rendered, impeccably vintage reenactments, bringing to life groundbreaking artifacts of trans history.

I’m still surprised that they made Angelica Ross, a Black trans woman, play an evil, murderous woman targeting an « innocent » cis white woman played by Emma Roberts in AHS : 1984 and apparently nobody saw how wrong this was?? They should have switched the roles. AHS and Ryan Murphy have a huge problem when it comes to representation for Black women because they’re always depicted as aggressive and scary (especially when they’re dark-skinned)

so I stopped watching ahs a while ago but that is so freaking messed up. like the only reason emma roberts is cast as the innocent cis white woman is because she fulfills the look of one. meanwhile didn't she literally beat evan peters a few years ago??? (also she's a nepo baby so)

ryan murphy is shit and I hope he rots for doing that to angelica ross. (also he kept working on ahs during the strike so he can go choke).

TURNsgiving 2023 Day 6: You in TURN

“Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors.” — Abigail Adams in a letter to her husband, John Adams, March 31, 1776

Realism be damned, if Deborah Sampson can fight on the battlefield in the American War of Independence, and @pagetreader’s OC Rebekah can balance soldiering and “womanly” duties, I can do both. Also, I just like playing dress up. Now, I won’t lie, coming up with content for this initially had me stuck cause I rarely do self-inserts, the closest I have is Audrey, and I've already discussed her... a lot (blame @honorhearted ~ affectionate). I have one “self insert” but they’re from the 1920s. Almost all my OCs are “wouldn't it be cool if?”

Now, I recall very distinctly wanting to be Eliza Schuyler-Hamilton in grade school, though I was the Angelica Schuyler-Church of my friend group. Thank you Shoba Narayan and Phillipa Soo for your service. I wish I had Anna Strong's patience, I can aspire to be a Peggy Shippen, and Benjamin Tallmadge is my “so me” TURN character. But, realistically I'd probably be more of a Philomena Cheer sort (keeps with my record of theatre kid), or a Deborah Sampson type. So, you get me as Benjamin Tallmadge and me as an 18th-century “coquette.”

I wholeheartedly believe that transphobia is child abuse or neglect... But not for the reasons you think.

It's not about the misgendering. It doesn't help anything, to be fair, but what it's really about is what transphobia does, and stands for, in practice.

Everybody sees the same person differently. Effectively, the mental image that you have of a person isn't really them, it's an interpretation of them, based on what you see and hear, mixed with how you see the world. This isn't a bad thing, it's just a fact of life. Nobody knows everything about somebody else. Most of the time, it isn't much of an issue. If something unexpected appears, you adapt your interpretation of the person to match, so it remains accurate and doesn't cause problems. However, when you add transphobia to the mix, it results in people grasping onto this interpretation and trying to replace their child with it.

As a trans person, in an unsupportive environment, this is genuinely how it feels. My mother doesn't see me, she sees an imaginary daughter. She doesn't care for me, she cares for an imaginary daughter. She's willing to make me miserable, if that means her imaginary daughter can continue living. Niko and "Angelica" aren't the same person. Not anymore. Angelica is a replacement.

The issue with transphobia in parenting is that it's never about treating your child as autonomous person, with their own needs. It never includes listening to your child, and treating their input and reasons for thinking this way as valuable. No. It's always about shutting them down. It's about forcing them to conforming with your mental image. And, it hurts your child. You may be trying to do the right thing. You may be doing it out of concern, but that's the core of the issue.

My mom, for example. I have a nickname for her, that I'll sometimes use. This nickname is "Kongpa", based on the Chinese word "恐怕", which can be used, in a sentence, to mean "I'm worried that". Especially in "if/then" statements. This is her nickname because that statement has defined our relationship, in my head. She cares. But... In practice, it doesn't feel like it's about me. Because it's always her fears, her feelings, her thoughts. Her fear is that me being trans will, inevitably, result in my transitioning, which will result in me killing myself out of regret.

Me and Mom have had many arguments about me being trans. Especially for that first year after I first came out, when I was fourteen. These arguments have never been about understanding each other, our point of views, and figuring out a way to move forward, while addressing both of our concerns. No, it's always her, and my stepdad, trying to argue my transness out of me. Trying to beat me with "I'm worried that..." until I feel too guilty to continue.

This is where the imaginary daughter comes into play. I am an autonomous person, with my own experiences, thoughts, feelings, and needs. I might be their offspring, but I am still allotted the right to a conversation about my own issues. Not an argument, a conversation where we're all equals. If this was about me, then we should be able to have this conversation. Sit down, without yelling or verbally beating down the other (it's always me being beaten down, because I always end up crying, but shush), and understand each other. I like to think I understand Mom, and my stepdad. They want what's right... But you can't figure out what's right without communication, and every time I've tried to start this conversation, it's always ended with an argument that they're aiming to win. This isn't a conversation where you can win, because then it'll go nowhere. You cannot find the best course of action by winning an argument. Not when it comes to social things, like this. Winning an argument like this is just shutting the other person down.

At the end of all of these arguments, I'm always in tears. The closest I've ever gotten to suicide was after one of these. I had a weapon, and everything. The only reason it didn't result into an actual attempt was because I realized I was scared. I was scared of dying. The unknown that follows it. I was scared of living. If I survived the attempt, I knew I'd be in physical, mental, and financial pain. It wasn't "She wants the best for me", or "People care for me"... It was fear. When I needed somebody, nobody was there, because the only people who could have been there, wanted to win an argument. They didn't want to find the best course of action, they wanted me to shut up and go back to being their daughter. Why else would it have descended into an argument to win? I was never an individual to work with, I was a responsibility to fix. And that hurt. It still defines how I see them.

This severely damaged our relationship. At this point, I can't be around them that long. The only thing I have to keep looking forward to is the fact I only have a year until I can move out. A year, then I can move in with my supportive father, and go to college. Start my life, not Angelica's.

I believe that transphobia is child neglect, or abuse. Or.. at least, it causes it. I'm not saying "arrest all transphobes with kids", but I am saying that, if you actually care for your child, you have to actually listen to them. Transphobia is toxic, because it has no positive effect on your child. Even if they end up not being trans, and their transition ends up being a mistake, you still drove them away. You told them that, when push comes to shove, you are unwilling to listen, change your perspective, or treat them as an autonomous person. There are alternatives, even if you don't "agree" that your child is trans. Because, by denying and dismissing them, vehemently misgendering them, you can, not only, be negatively impacting their mental health, and driving them away, but also closing any and all doors for conversation, or teaching life skills. You need to communicate with them. You can't make decisions for them. Especially not as they get older.

Take the time to, calmly, sit down and listen to their input, experiences, and why they think the way they do. When it's your turn, you can voice your concerns, listen to your child, and try meeting in the middle. If you're concerned about "irreversible damage" and medical transition, then just see if you can stick to social transition for a few years. Test it out. It's just name (no legal alterations to anything, yet), pronouns, terms, and clothes. Nothing that's going to cause irreversible damage. If they're not trans, then living as another gender is going to be uncomfortable. If they blossom, then that's a pretty good sign. You can talk about transitioning further when it's (a) legally possible, to begin with, (b) when you're child asks for it, and/or (c) when you and your child are sure it's best, with valuable input from both sides. And you have to realize that, sometimes, you have to put away your concerns, and let your child figure things out.

A child is a human being. An individual with their own needs and wants. If you cannot compromise, meet in the middle, communicate, hold their input as valuable, especially as they age... Then you weren't mature enough for this responsibility. These are basic life skills. By refusing to work on these, if you currently have children, then you're also missing out on teaching your child these, and making their adult life harder. I promise, your child will have bullies, and you don't need to be one of them. There are better alternatives to deal with your concerns.
