By the way, I'm writing stories set in the post trans world where these kids find hope, despite what happened to them. I think suicide is going to be a huge issue, starting soon.
"Braids" is a fantasy short story about a detrans woman. "Down Pad" is a near term scifi like serialized novella with a detrans man who was transed by his stepmom.
I know it's good, but I haven't read it. Already knew all that. And the body horror is part of why it's so hard to talk about. A lot of what needs to be said does induce body horror. People can't believe people would really do this to other people. And the issue isn't really the online stuff. It's how ALL the authorities react. There are online sites that promote anorexia too, after all. Not saying the online sites on this are good. Just saying that they are backed up by all the professionals that should be fighting this.

Hey, sorry for the delayed response, I've missed a bunch of Substack notifications. I'll take a gander at your story. It's serialized, yeah?
