Trans Visibility Awareness Day - Tumblr Posts
This is an amazing story writen by my friend, Cat. It is a wonderful drama with a beautiful love story. Check it out!!!
So, here we are! I’m really excited to finally share some of this story with you.
I SEE YOU is a romance / thriller set in 1950’s Paris and is the story of Roberta and Pierre.
I have specifically chosen today, 31st March, to share more about Roberta with you - because today is International Transgender Visibility Awareness Day, and that matters because Roberta is a transwoman.
So often in media and literature, people who identify as transgender have very poor representation, and it rarely seems to be positive. Trans characters are often portrayed as sex workers and often meet a nasty end. How many stories have a trans woman as not only the main protagonist, but also one of the romantic leads? I wanted to try and change that.
Here I present the prologue and first 2 chapters (which are still unedited and a work in progress) but as a teaser for the rest of the story to come, hopefully late 2021, or early 2022.
I will state these chapters are rated mature which includes sexual content.
Also, I will add as a trigger warning, that Roberta is in a relationship that falls under “dubious consent”. This will become clearer as to why as the story progresses, however it is not down to her gender identity – if you want to know more, please message me!
Once the full draft is completed, I will be looking for people to complete sensitivity reads. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please message me!
I hope you enjoy the teaser. I SEE YOU is important to me, and I hope this story, when finally released, is able to add some positivity to trans representation in the media.
