Looking for your next series with an Autistic protagonist, a real murder mystery, and non-cheesy humour that was written by, created, and stars an actually Autistic person? I mean... you found it.
25 year-old Petra Preston, a newly diagnosed Autistic detective, insists on running her amateur PI business HER way. But when extroverted and headstrong Ivy comes along with a juicy murder case, Petra must learn the importance of collaboration while working through her insecurities and shame left over from being a social outcast in a world made for neurotypicals.
Please go show the trailer some love so we can get money to make this thing!!!
I saw a screenshot of this episode, and I was reminded that I rewatched it (and recorded some scenes) last month. Anyway, just thought some of you might want to see it.
(edit: added the tag "out of context detco dub" to all the related videos on my blog for easier searching)
'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.
I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.
About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'
