alyson greavesanyway part of the reason I love “classic” TG stories of the sort that populate BC and FM and (sigh) TGST is that so many of them are functionally romances, and I am an incurable romantic who grew up utterly starved of romances with leads who were even slightly legible to me
and yeah sure loads of these authors hadn’t figured themselves out when they wrote the stories — and I guess many still haven’t — and ofc some authors were/are Genuinely Cis, but that first step, that a trans woman is someone who exists and is worthy of love, is one most mainstream media STILL refuses to take
