Anemone

A short complaint about how trans characters in media (specifically video games, in this case) are treated by creators and fans alike.

Ode to the fictional trans woman

O, Poison,

Whose identity was born out of hatred and ignored for decades

Lend me your strength and your neon pink hair.

O, Ticker, whose transness was made into trivia, in a dusty old wiki

Lend me your love and your words that melt hearts.

O, Bridget, who was robbed of self affirmation, from the moment she found herself

Lend me your style and your sick trickz.

Most of all, lend me your patience

So that I may live another day without being jailed

For doing bad things to a cis writer.
