what's wrong, hero?

2/3s thru my reread of Detransition, Baby and i am a lottttt cooler on it than i was. and i do say this as a Torrey Peters fan (i got my dinky little t4t tattoo after i read Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones). IFYALO attempts to present a grand unified theory of transfemininity, and i think theres some pretty fair critiques of how it treats whiteness as default, but DTB is fucking up much worse. its this bizarre little self-flagellating dance wherein Peters is still trying to theorize the transfeminine condition, but she's now aware she's writing from a profoundly white perspective. so instead of taking a stab at anything else, she does this thing where she goes "and of course this only happens to white girls. TWOC are a different species."
