I noticed there was (is?) some discussion about whether it is appropriate to discuss politics here.
The thing is, our (=trans people) existence is already a hot political topic in these times. Powerful people in the "real world" are trying to make our existence illegal, and erasing us from people's awareness. By writing stories about trans people we are implicitly "discussing politics," if only because such stories challenge the claim that we don't exist (or shouldn't)
The measures and propaganda that seek to villify or kill or erase us are part of every trans person's life now; to refuse to talk about them is to deny a huge part of our daily reality.
The feminist phrase "the personal is political" is our life now.
