whispers hey you can’t use the same critical framework on works by individual lgbt creators that you use for works by corporations looking for profit from lgbt stories written by straight people because the context and consumption of that content exist in completely separate spheres thannnkssssss
you can’t deride a depressed lesbian’s work for having the sad lesbian trope in it
you can’t tell a trans woman writing about being trans that she’s just writing the stereotypical trans narrative
those are their stories to tell and they’re not stereotypes they’re real lives and reducing them to the boxes het media puts us in is reproducing their oppression
