Twenty is a small sample size. And when you try to take the experiences of such a small number of people and extrapolate some larger truths about groups of people… well, there are strange distortions, right?

I am confused as to why it is necessary for trans people to speak through a non-trans person. We are capable of expressing ourselves. We are capable of journaling our dysphoric, intimate moments and putting them online. If you’re an academic, study us and don’t pretend to be us. You haven’t explained what this project is for, except really to satisfy your own fascination.

Why don’t you put your own pain and difficulty online? Wouldn’t that be infinitely less exploitative and infinitely more interesting? Cut your own guts open.

This is an emotional topic for me, it’s exactly how I feel. Foreign, soft and useless tumors. You did a great job of expressing that, thank you.

This is so cool. I love this! Interesting, original, as new a frontier in writing as it is in the flesh…
