This is an extraodinary essay I hope everyone reads, by a remarkably talented woman named Natalie Reed. It actually took my breath away.
I haven’t posted a lot of positive reviews for Batgirl here on Tumblr, for a lot of reasons. First, I don’t know, it seems kind of, needy, I guess? I repost…

Anyone who even knows someone who’s Trans, and has even heard of Batgirl needs to read this, it is simply beautiful.

It’s a good read: makes me sad the comic doesn’t speak to me about those issues to the same degree. I’m not sure what’s missing (in me?) but I am glad they’ve found it to be an outlet. Thank you for your efforts Gail.
