'Horror films are so damn trans'
films are all about the construction and deconstruction of bodies, so whilst they are not explicitly written as trans narratives, there’s a lot of room for trans interpretation.
SM: The book pays a lot of attention to cultural history. Relative to queerness, it’s doubly important to pay heed to political cultural moments from the past. Canonical texts and our cultural past are always going to be intertwined with the contemporary, you can’t shake it off. This is why the reclamation of problematic tropes in the book is important. You can’t just ignore it, because it’s difficult.
SM: Unless you’ve openly stated your gender to someone, or you’re presenting in a certain way, there can be more of a gulf between how a person looks at you versus how you perceive yourself. You need to navigate how much to let another person in, and whether that will change their perception of you. So desirability becomes increasingly more to do with how someone else perceives me and my gender.
