Untitled
Charlie Jane Anders
begins her novel
Victories Greater Than Death
with a protagonist
who has a beacon
inside her
full of starlight
that some day
will be released.
It’s such a great metaphor
for being trans,
for being closeted,
the desire
to let that beauty
escape from you
without always thinking
about the consequences,
so pregnant
with something amazing,
never knowing
when it will get
the chance
to shine.
