HumorOn the Absurdity of "Deadnaming"
The whole "deadname" accusation is kind of hilarious to me. It sounds like something you'd do to kill a wizard. 😂
It's like: imagine there's this trans doctor going "I'm gonna medically transition this 14-year-old girl... and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me! Ahahahaha!"
And then the transphobe -- the brave, TERF transphobe -- crashes in through a stained glass window on horseback, and she's all like: "hold it right there: thou vile, twisted abomination! I know your TRUE name!"
"It isn't Mxyzptlk, your gender-neutral name. It's.... William! WILLIAM!"
And the trans doctor is all like "No! NOOOOOO!!" And he starts to fucking melt: all his fake eyelashes and hair implants fall out.
But then he gets up and is like "You can't do this to me! William is gone! Now there is only... Mxyzptlk!"
"But in words there is truth, and in truth there is power!" says the TERF, heroically. "And I know the truth, foul thing! Your name isn't Mxyzptlk. It's WILLIAM! WILLIAM! You're William and you removed your willie!"
"NO! NOOOOOO! I'm melting, I'm melting! Curse you, you vile little girl! Your words... they're literally violence!"
Thank you all, you've been a lovely audience, goodnight. 😂
First I want to say this is not a romance novel the romance part is very minimal
Oh thank goodness! Romance just isn't my genre and the description made it sound like something I would like until it got to the romance part. I don't know much about Norse mythology (my "world mythology" phase growing up had me dabbling in all sorts of myths, but mostly Greek/Roman, Japanese, various African countries', Irish, British, and various Native American tribes' myths were the ones I really dove into, which ended with me learning everything I could about them, though I've probably forgotten a lot by now. I still really like myths and legends even now, though I'm not completely obsessed with them anymore like I used to be.) but if that doesn't get in the way of me understanding the story I'd love to give it a try!
I'll put it on my "To Read" list and see if my library has it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Amazing. Just finished the most recent Sarah J. Mass. Don't judge! 😂
This sounds more like Circe which I loved ❤️
Book is on Scribd
I started the book and it's great. I remember the story from Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology book.
It must be good. All copies have long wait lists at my library. It does sound interesting.
Thankyou - i was wondering about this book. Sounds like a perfect one for my holiday.
That sounds pretty cool.. I love norse mythology... I will put it on my 'to read' list :P
EDIT: I checked it out on goodreads and the second review calls it transphobic LOL so now i have to read it
