#this is EXACTLY why queernorm books need to exist in greater quantities

[wordsgood]

nothing pisses me off more than reviews of books that are like “there was no reason for this character to be nonbinary, it wasn’t relevant to the plot that this character was bisexual, what was the point of this character being trans???” the point is that we’re people and we get to be around, existing with our pronouns and our love interests or lack thereof the same way any other character! shut up! we’re not primers for cishet readers! we can just be regular people and there doesn’t have to be a Point! we’re multidimensional! fuck!

#me at first: I’m not going to swear on my book blog I will be polite and pg #some gr reviewer: why did hero go by they/them pronouns if it had no bearing on the plot 🤔 #me: motherFUCKER— #what’s the point of the other pov characters being a man and a woman. #what’s the point of one character being pregnant. #what’s the point of the characters being human instead of sentient stoats #idk it’s because we’re people! we’re all people and we can just exist and do things for the story without waving rainbow flags!!! fuck! #i want to lay flat on the ground on my face and have a tantrum like a very annoying child #it just doesn’t seem like it’s a very hard concept to grasp to me. i don’t know why straight readers have such a hard time with it #this is EXACTLY why queernorm books need to exist in greater quantities #so 1) more open minded cishet readers Get It and 2) so I know which ppl on GR to avoid
