APE IN A CAPE: A Trans Girl's Guide To Gotham

jemeryl:

gailsimone:

This is an extraodinary essay I hope everyone reads, by a remarkably talented woman named Natalie Reed. It actually took my breath away.

I haven’t posted a lot of positive reviews for Batgirl here on Tumblr, for a lot of reasons. First, I don’t know, it seems kind of, needy, I guess? I repost…

The fact that there’s a vocal base of trans batgirl readers was enough for me to instantly jump on comixology and buy Batgirl #1. Then I read it and at one point in the comic I cried a little bit. Then I read the essay that Gail talks about here, the Trans Girl’s Guide to Gotham and it was spot on. After that I wrote a letter to Gail Simone’s tumblr telling her how much it moved me and I cried a little more. I mean, I never cry… but in the last two weeks I’ve burst into enormous tears once and shed tears, like, 3 or 4 times. 

ANYWAYS READ THE ARTICLE GUYS REALLY

I hope some of those tears were good tears! And thank you…Natalie is PFA (pretty fucking amazing!)

    Anyone who even knows someone who’s Trans, and has even heard of Batgirl needs to read this, it is simply beautiful.

  17. trypr said: It’s a good read: makes me sad the comic doesn’t speak to me about those issues to the same degree. I’m not sure what’s missing (in me?) but I am glad they’ve found it to be an outlet. Thank you for your efforts Gail.
