as a transguy, I only want more representation for the younguns who need representation. I don't need it. I'm old, I'm good. All I want is a good story told well, literally do not give a shit if the protag is a PoC lesbian or a SE Asian transman or a Navajo elder so long as the story is good and told well. But I know the younguns coming up now are having a lot of anxiety because society is coming for them on every side, so if feeling seen because a good book has a character they can relate to in terms of gender, race, sexuality, background, whatever, then kudos and go ahead write more of that.

I, however, will not be reading any book that ticks off a tumblr checklist of Representation Points but has the absolutely most ass story fill of shitty tropes, stupid plot twists, and an unfilfilling narrative.

You seem to think good representation for young people can't exist as anything other than a Tumblr Representation Points Checklist, and I find that sad and telling.

I'm also trans and have read/watched (mainly read) things that are both genuinely well-written and entertaining with representation and things that are Representation Checklists, and I am also "old" and still appreciate the former for myself very much.

nah, we're not disagreeing here but you don't have to call me sad because I don't read YA urban fantasy.

Where did OP say that the representation checklist was the only option, or that representation and good writing are mutually exclusive? Wtf. Trans people are allowed to be annoyed by bad writing just like everybody else without needing your pity.

What a weird judgey comment you left here.
