... that's fair. And Thessaly is absolutely a piece of work.

And I do believe that it's an accurate depiction, but... reality is no excuse. The way it comes off, it looks a lot like the story's saying "trans women are only women when they're dead." Not in the 'real' world, not in the fantasy world.

(I also want to be very clear on the distinction between the /story/ and the author.)

Bah. I'm writing from twenty-five-plus years in the future, and as a cis ally. It rubs me wrong, is all I've got.
