Really stomach-turning to see E. Lily Yu's deeply transphobic substack post, and I encourage my trans siblings, particularly trans fems, not to bother reading any of it. It's nothing we haven't heard before, and it's presented in the same smug, pseudo-intellectual, self-righteous tone as always.

This is awful, wtf

Big thanks to everyone who kept this going. I appreciate you. 🖤

Everybody I know has been fairly blindsided by this, so maybe this is going to ring hollow, but I want trans women entering SFF to know that lots of us are in camp "fuck off, terfs." The transphobes don't speak for us.

I love Pale Fire - now I've got the other four on the list of books I should absolutely check out, based on the association there

I feel like I’ve seen Csorwe from The Unspoken Name discussed in this category a bunch

Shang Qinghua from MXTX’s Scum Villain’s Self-saving System

Eun Sup and Jo Yeong from The King: The Eternal Monarch (is it cheating to have this as one?)

Jill Pole from C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia

Westley from The Princess Bride
