Thank you very much. I wrote this piece for other racialized people, for myself and my friends who have been rejected from white queer spaces. Even if the doors are open, preaching "inclusivity", a single conversation with someone there immediately reveals it is not really inclusive at all. The Outsider is so dehumanized she does not even get given a name. The section where one of the sisters dyes her hair black is something I have discussed in depth with my friends as a phenomenon that we see both offline and online. To those of us who are racialized, it's blatant fetishization of things we were born with. In fact, my favourite question to ask people would be this: can you name a single Asian trans woman you know in real life? Are you friends with her? Are you on her side?
White trans women idolize the "inherent femininity" that Asians have, and as a result, completely alienate all Asians as a whole. They speak on issues that they have no right to speak on, talking over us, or force us into "dealing with it". I'm putting myself in the line of fire by saying all of this, but I think enough is enough.
I am very glad to hear this game resonated with you. It means a lot to me.
