Yeah, I think that I was doing much of what you just described, that historically, the trans people who got access to surgery were people who sort of said, I'm only attracted to men, and I just want to basically transition and live exactly as cis women. And anybody who said, yeah, I have some sexuality things going on with it, were sort of considered perverts.

And so then as a result, the trans community for a long time basically said gender and sexuality are separate. And us transitioning has nothing to do with sexuality. And for me, I sort of, I was writing and I was like, that doesn't actually seem to be how I feel things myself and how other people, not all trans people, because I think trans people come to this from all different directions.

For me, oftentimes sexuality is sort of like a alarm, a harbinger of gender, that what you want and who you want to be is often a reflection or connected to your gender. When people are attracted to other people, they're attracted to other people, but they're also attracted as a type of person. You know, like, I don't just want to be with this man. I want to be with this man as a woman.

And that a lot of what eroticism and sexuality is is also about getting to feel who you are. And that's not just for trans people. That's for all sorts of people. And so the question for me is, like, why is this so dangerous when trans people do it? And what happens when trans people are so afraid of of their own sexuality, that they repress it. How does it come out again?

And so in The Masker, for instance, you have a trans woman who's very, very respectability politics. You know, a former cop who transitioned, who is very much like, you should just be a regular, normal woman.

And then on the other path, you have somebody who maybe was trans, and I think it's very taboo to say that a fetishist like the Masker character could be trans, but I'm kind of interested in maybe this is actually a trans person who's repressed their desires so much, repressed their gender so much, repressed all these things. That stuff, when you repress it, it doesn't go away.

And that's not just when trans people repress things that doesn't go away. When anybody represses things, yeah. And I think for me it was very taboo to write a character that was like, maybe that character is trans. And especially in this political climate where any bits of sexuality are weaponized against trans people, I'm afraid of it being weaponized.

But the value in it for me is like, maybe this will free people a little bit to read it. To basically be like... If the sexuality is getting so kind of baroque because of the fear and the repression, you know, maybe that is a sign that something's going on with your gender. Maybe you can actually figure this out.
