And yet transphobes can write about witches, with unfortunately great success.
honestly it’s kinda fitting. if witches were real you just know that harry potter would be a total bastardization of their culture and practices
“You were a fool to challenge me. No mortal man may do me harm.”
stabbing my thigh with Estradiol “I. AM. NO. MAN!”
transing my gender back and forth like ikaruga to bypass the final boss’s multiple layers of mortal-man-proof and mortal-woman-proof armor

Haven’t read it, but I love the premise. I think it would be better if they had both though.
I can’t say I fully understood the story, but I think thematically it played a bit with the resentment some people feel towards the LGBTQ community for “playing outside the rules.” Their elderly family kept misgendering them, etc.

also happy cake day!
