Bridget Liang ist eine Autorin, deren Werk sich intensiv mit den Schnittpunkten von Identität und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen auseinandersetzt. Ihr Schreibstil ist oft geprägt von ihren Erfahrungen als queere, transfeminine und neurodiverse Person, was sich in Themen widerspiegelt, die die Grenzen und Komplexitäten der menschlichen Existenz untersuchen. Durch kunstbasierte Forschung und Fiktion trägt Liang zu Diskussionen über Intersektionalität bei und schafft Raum für marginalisierte Stimmen. Ihre Arbeit fordert die Leser heraus, über Machtdynamiken nachzudenken und Vielfalt anzunehmen.
The first book to foreground the voices and experiences of autistic trans people, this collection of interviews explores questions of identity and gender from a neurodiverse perspective and examines how this impacts family, work, healthcare and religion.
Logan Osborne knows he likes boys, but has not come out to his family or at school, and no one knows that he likes to sometimes wear girls' clothes and makeup. When he starts at a school for the arts he finds a wider range of gender and orientation being accepted. Logan is attracted to Kyle, who has gay dads. But Kyle is straight. Logan finds he doesn't like the way gay boys treat him, and a disturbing hookup with a boy who is fetishistic about Logan's half-Asian background makes Logan even more confused about what he wants and who he is. Encouraged and supported by his friends at school, Logan experiments with nail polish and more feminine clothes in public. Logan begins questioning his gender and decides to use they pronouns while trying to figure things out. Logan meets a classmate's chosen mother, who is a transgender Chinese woman, and begins to come to terms with their gender identity. Realizing they are not a gay boy, but a transgender girl, Logan asks for people to call them Veronica. As a girl, does Veronica stand a chance with Kyle?
