i understand that you're a 4tran resident and you don't think anything can ever get better for you because that's how everyone on 4tran is. i cannot stress enough that the vast cavern of insecurity you're choosing to live in is exactly what this post is for.
you are obviously not going to smash the patriarchy by doing something small for one single trans woman. that would be absurd. but that doesn't mean that anything you do has no effect at all. if you let a trans woman who doesn't pass at all dress really fem and call her pretty and genuinely mean it you have done something really good. if you go to the gym with a trans guy and support him in the locker room, you've made a meaningful difference in his life specifically. if you create a space for your nonbinary friend where you make it clear you don't see them as one or the other, exorsexism will still obviously exist in other places but they're comfortable with you and that's what matters
it's better to do something small that doesn't change the grand scheme of things than to get so jaded about your inability to change the grand scheme of things that you do nothing at all
you don't need the grand scheme of things to change. you need someone to take your hand and tell you that you are a girl and things will get better for you, over and over until you believe it. and if you choose to do that for yourself then you still will have made a change and made the world better, even if no one else knows you did it.
and please leave 4tran oh my god you deserve better
A Deeply Personal and EXTREMELY Subjective Reading of Compound Fracture
There has been a lot of talk online about lgbt fiction and the importance of adding queer themes and experiences to it. Without that you have “Gay” fiction. Media that panders to straight people and their views. Often giving a very sanitized and clean depiction of queer relationships.
“Queer” fiction is made for actually queer people. Common themes of prejudice, isolation, movement and protests, finding company in other people like you.
A theme that often isn't dealt with in queer fiction is family history and legacy. At least not in a positive manner. Queer stories cast a doubt on these topics, and are often about defying or outright abandoning them.
Which kind of comes with the territory. A lot of queer people -after coming out- are either rejected by their families or feel isolated as “they're so different now.”
So why is reading such an aggressively queer book with such themes feel so liberating? refreshing? I can't even describe it.
The Abernathys’ history is one full of trauma and hurt. Their legacy, one of shame. Their name dragged through the mud and decay. Unlike the Davies their legacy is a curse, a foretelling of death.
But like isn't that just what being queer is. That's what it has always felt for me. An identity that foretells oppression and hardship. Lgbt as a word has a reference to the aids epidemic. It was originally Glbt but when lesbians were the only group willing to care for those infected, it was changed.
But queer history is relieving too. Saint Abernathy is a literal role model to Miles. Do you know how it feels to read history and know that while you might be ostracized by your family now your ancestors would have welcomed you with open arms? To know that people like you walked this earth?
But it's a bittersweet relief. The real tragedy Saint Abernathy's life is in not what happened but what he could have been, the life he could have lived that was ruthlessly taken from him.
324,029 men and women died in the AIDS epidemic. This statistic alone is horrifying. These people aren't just numbers on a page, they're people with lives, jobs, friends and families. People who were denied the simple luxury of growing old and living a comfortable life. As if it's such a big ask.
That's what Compound Fracture -and much of AJW's writing- is to me. It's a deeply angry book, it's a book that claws and scratches and burns. Burns because isn't it infuriating? To see and learn and read about all these shitty things that happened simply because people were too bigoted, because the man on top always wins? Because that's how things are?
I love that so much about his books. So much of my teen years was spent angry. I realized I was queer early on, genderfluid later on. Reading his books is a catharsis. For once in my life my anger is understood and almost justified. I'm not overreacting or letting my emotions get the better in me, I don't feel inhuman for having them.
I love the Abernathys, the beloved underdogs of the story. The ones that loved each other because of all the blood. The people that held onto hope for a better life and fought nail and tooth for it. This sounds very corny but it is the moral of the book I feel. Love and hope above all, inspiring people to change their lives for the better. There's no use in denying it.

my only gripe with heated rivalry is that they sometimes imply someone has a boner and then we see their crotch and they very obviously do not. could they rlly not stuff some socks in there?
