It’s an experiment.
I’ve written two books with such a protagonist. Pantomime, which just made a top ten title for the 2014 ALA Rainbow list, and the just-released sequel, Shadowplay. The first one is set in a circus and the second on a magician’s stage.
You don’t have to reblog to say you’d read MY books (though that’d be nice and part of the hope of this post is that it’ll spread awareness that my books are out there), just that you WOULD read one.

“…seriously??” i thought to myself upon getting this notification via the YouTube app, in my email inbox and then on the YouTube homepage. i was just going to ignore it and move on, but after seeing the same notification for a third time i decided to look further…
…i was prepared for things to get worse, but not this worse. the above is only a sample of the bullshit that can be found on this guy’s YouTube channel. dare i even subject myself to watching any of the videos, let alone the video in question?
as always, curiosity killed the cat…
……..so this guy was pointed in my direction by someone who has obviously watched several of my videos (ie. by someone who cannot not know that i am non-binary) but who is still misgendering me and who for some reason felt the need to disclose personal information about me, my mental health and my family to this acephobic misogynoiristic piece of shit asshat of all people??? as a means of combatting this asshat’s bullshit??? not to mention all of the other problematic things that were said.
i just… i can’t even. i can’t touch this right now. i will explode. it will be messy. it will be ugly.
seriously, do not touch this guy’s YouTube channel. i’m not linking it here for a reason. spare yourself the pain. i just need to vent somewhere. ugh.

Fictional character: I don't care about sex
Me, an asexual individual: Ohh, that's something i can relate to. Finally! Yay!
Fictional character: I don't care about romance either.
Me: That's cool! It will be very enjoyable to watch you have a meaningful life and be a complex, unique person who simply happens not to feel sexual or romantic attraction.
Fictional character: In fact, i don't care about other humans at all. I don't have friends or family. I'm a very lonely person. Other people call me a freak.
Me: ... Fine, i guess
Fictional character: All my social interactions are very child-like, cold-hearted, superficial and meaningless. The sole reason for this is my lack of romance and sex. It makes me incapable of having a happy, normal relationship of any kind.
Me: What
Fictional character: But now i met That One Special Person.
Me: the fuck
Fictional character: That One Special Person changes everything. They heal my broken heart and make me capable of having feelings. Obviously i have been broken the whole time.
Me: ...
Me: Why did i even expect anything else, i should know better by now
Hello, I need some advice. I am a transmale. I didn't want to come out to everyone but I was outed and now everybody knows. Due to this I have been getting bullied by my peers at school and being told that my identity isn't valid since after my mom found out she has been forcing me to wear more traditionally feminine clothing. What can I do? What should I do?
about the bullying: depending on where you live, there might be laws protecting you from bullying based on gender. if you find one, print it out. show it to the principal. if there are no laws protecting you from harassment based on your gender, talk to a trusted teacher. they might be able to help you.
about your mom: if it’s safe to do so, talk with her. explain to her what’s happening. if she truly cares for you, she’ll do her best to help you with the bullies and try to make you feel more comfortable instead of forcing you into clothes that you don’t want to wear. unfortunately, if you’re under a certain age (i don’t know what this age is where you live but it’s generally around 18) your mom is allowed to take away resources from you such as internet, food, education, and even housing. make a plan of action before talking to her. make sure you have a place to stay (a friend or a relative’s, maybe) should you be kicked out of the house. there’s lots of resources for homelessness if you do end up on the streets, and if you search lgbt youth centers you might be able to find one near you that will offer food, showers, and a play to sleep.
sending positive vibes out to you - good luck xx
