Totally. And... Sort of the, like, irregularity of Grace's path this way is, like, one of the reasons why I was, like, drawn to, like, writing a sports story about, like, a trans girl playing football, specifically, is because, like, I probably have a, like, more...

I don't know if complicated is the word, but I have a very interesting relationship with masculinity, and as much as I'm fascinated by it, I think it is endlessly interesting to see the ways that men construct the various kinds of masculinity that they live in, and the... various outcomes that men can end up finding via their weird, distinct masculinities.

For instance, for me personally, I'm still in my like old high school, like boys group chat, like that we like started like a decade ago. And like, I have never once had a problem fitting in there when they all found out I was trans. It was like, oh shit, cool, whatever. Yeah. We're gonna keep talking about, like, the Knicks, you know?

And, like, again, Grace's journey with masculinity is different from mine, but kind of like her. I have, like, some amount of, like, difficulty in, like... very masculine sports spaces when i was a kid but then like once you adapt and once you like learn how to like perform this thing like i never had a problem existing in these worlds and like

Something that Grace is really annoyed by is that people are always like, I just can't believe that, like, you would be trans. And what is hidden in there is, like, you were kind of a dick. You were, like, kind of a douchebag. So, like, I very much wanted to write a trans protagonist who has a relationship with, like...

her past self and with her male friends that was like a little more complicated where like she has a like very good solid group of like male friends who are not like perfect but are still like that's my friend so like i think for my friends and for a lot of trans women's male friends they're like well i was friends with you before so like you're still like you know you're still you

I'm still going to be cool with you, so I guess that means that I have to think about, like... I have to, like, okay, now I have to, like, think about how, like, trans people are, like, treated by society more broadly, and it's, like, interesting seeing men in my life, like, suddenly become, like, cognizant of, like, trans issues.

And it's all, like, personal. It's all, like, well, I know this person, and therefore I'm going to show compassion to this person that I like, and then... you know, politics, starting at the personal and sort of like growing out from there.
