delighted and farklempt to see this genre of solidarity + friendships written abt — i say genre bc i experienced in like, the parallel/not-quite-counterpart context, as a faggot w/ other faggots + fagdykes (and like, dykes too, but those friendships have their own nuances). idk! this kind of thing is a little difficult to put into words for me, outside of fiction. i’m glad to see someone else talk abt it so well.
Could be the E talking but I had a good cry over this one. One can have powerful and nurturing trans friendships whether you fucked or not, but I think there's something special about the ones where you never do. It opens a space for a different kind of intimacy.
bless the angels who steer us in the direction of ourselves!!!
