destinationtoast:fansplaining:Episode 166: Writing Trans CharactersIn episode 166, Flourish and Elizabeth are joined by friend of the podcast and recurring guest @destinationtoast to talk through Toast’s recent stats on trans, nonbinary, and gender-diverse characters on the AO3. They supplement this quantitative analysis with qualitative observations and experiences reading and writing trans characters, including letters and voicemails from Gavin Daphne, Flash, AlessNox, Thomas, and Elizabeth. (Yes, a different Elizabeth!) Click through to our site to listen or read a full transcript! Woo!! The episode is up! I recommend this ep regardless of whether you’ve already seen/want to hear about the fandom stats. The shared personal experiences with gender-diverse fanworks are rich and interesting! I’m so honored to have also gotten to participate and add stats. I also recommend clicking through to the show notes in this case – they contain links to my data, a Venn diagram illustrating the baffling mare’s nest of AO3 gender tags, etymology lessons, some truly excellent reaction gifs, and even a bonus explanation of the whole omegaverse stats/NFT/1D situation that I cryptically alluded to last night. -- source link
