is shen pulling a 300 iq play by integrating several elements of transfeminine repression into a character otherwise written to be a cisgendered woman to make the reading less obvious to the viewer? probably not but i might use that actually

it's funny how "audrey intentionally being designed to evoke several similar elements of shen's regular sona as a red herring" doesn't even sound that ridiculous

how i interpret this work so far is that the reason there is a deliberate ambiguity around trans subjectivity here is in part because this work is less about concrete cis gender nonconformity and more about a dialogue around selfhood btwn the real & ideal bsky.app/profile/curl...

"audrey exists to work out shen's thoughts and feelings around gender" perhaps indeed, insofar as audrey is an ideal, but now consider val's monologue about how she perceives how others see her and her own self-image:
