Context Matters

An anthology of SF and fantasy by transgender authors. Trans experience underline all of these, with individual pieces placing emphasis on sex, fantasy adventures, or hard SF. At the same time, I wanted not just to emulate but also to reclaim feminist SF/F traditions that often have been, as with Joanna Russ, quite hostile to trans people. To offer us something better. Also, trans people all seem to be huge nerds, so I was like, maybe this will be popular. Maybe we will even make some money for a change.

An enigmatic destiny: two people come together on a bridge, wanting... to be seen? Or unseen? Or never seen at all? Satan, Are You There? It’s Me, Laura by Aisling Fae: This one is by far my favorite story in the collection; it is a sheer delight. This is a deliciously blasphemous spin on God and Satan as star-crossed lovers with Satan as a transgender woman who is pissed at God for not conveying her correct pronouns to mortals. So good. I eventually gave myself some space, calmed down, and decided to continue this highly anticipated read. The book does get infinitely better as it goes on. There are definitely not anymore rape fantasy horror stories. It's a mixed bag like any anthology, but many are well written and entertaining. Some of the stories seem all about being trans which was a little disappointing to me. I was hoping that a book like this would showcase more that we have talents outside of talking about transition. That said, in the afterword, the editors claim this was a conscious decision- to not choose stories that just happen to have trans characters, but to choose ones that center being trans. In other ways, stories that centered this imagined futures where transition related issues are thought of and orchestrated in different ways. This was definitely interesting. There is some real variation in topics across the stories. Like any collection, it's hit or miss, but the stories that I did like, I really liked, hence the higher rating. Okay, so we're starting out in the deep end with this first entry, which is pretty raw, but grownups can and should be able to handle it. To keep control.Bridget Liang - Delicate Bodies: not for the squeamish, but worth it for the zombified diy bottom surgery scene alone This final story starts off really well, its lurid energy reminding me of Jeff Noon... With the money she'd embezzled from her cat, Viola bought a mid-market warp drive kit and started to construct her spaceship. Evocative, prescient, snarky, moving. The authors in this book range in focus and also in genre--from the dreamlike speculative to hard sci-fi to satirical projections of current trends--but are united in providing interesting and fresh stories about gender and life under capitalism. My favorite stories are: In the terrible stories where trans people are awful monsters (in spec fic and elsewhere), none of that complexity happens.
