Being in grad school is an incredible stroke of good fortune in a time in which much of what I have worked for – global HIV treatment, trans liberation, public health – is being destroyed & my childhood fears in a family wracked by Holocaust-survivor-guilt are rapidly becoming realities.

There's 2 possible paths for life writers of troubled pasts: some write their hearts out as if their life depended on it. Others, like myself, kept the secrets inside as if airing them would kill us.

if you think these kinds of ultra harmful media tropes about trans women aren’t part of the political violence being enacted on trans people right now… i have some news for you

Poker Face s2 - 2*
In one episode a guy calls a cis woman, "Dude," and she later says "I'm a grown-ass man." Not counting the
"dude" as an intentional misgendering (it's just societal sexism in language), but her misgendering herself for humor is certainly a joke at our expense.
Nonbinary actor Nicole Orabona plays a bartender in an episode, but the character's gender isn't mentioned.
Trans woman Patti Harrison plays Alex, a recurring role that is... somewhat problematic. Her character is not mentioned as trans.
In one episode she joins a gym with a cis lady, and calls the two of them "gym bros." Weird thing to make a trans lady say, effectively misgendering herself, even if the character isn't trans.
In the finale it's revealed that her character Alex is a killer, but that's not all. She goes by "Iguana" and is so good at disguises that she can look like anyone.
Everyone also thinks Iguana is a guy, but surprise! It's the trans woman. In this episode she says she "choked off all her humanity," and "I don't really do physical pleasure."

Despite the character never being mentioned as trans, they hit multiple harmful trans tropes: the "Surprise, my gender is different than you thought" trope, the "trans people aren't human" trope, the "trans people as tricksters" trope, and the "trans people can't experience physical pleasure after transition" trope. All of them are bullshit, dehumanizing propaganda about us.
So while the character of Alex wasn't mentioned as trans, it sure as hell feels like the show itself treats her like she was... and punished her, and all the rest of us, for it. Supremely uncool.
And I'm not saying trans people can't be assassins or serial killers in stories, we can and should play evil and bad characters too. But if that's all we are, and along the way you reconfirm and perpetuate a ton of false bullshit about us... we'd be better off if you never added us to your show at all.
First do no harm, damn.
