We Regret To Inform You The Cis Are At It Again 

pro tip: if you want me to think you might be a good Cis Ally to collaborate with on a project about a trans character, when you're pitching said project, maybe don't refer to the protagonist *every single time you mention her* as "the trans female character who has had bottom surgery"

@glitternoodle is it constantly relevant because the entire plot arc takes place inside her underwear?

@leafnoodle it is . . . so much worse than that

it's a show about a trans woman doctor who goes to Burkina Faso (tho in the reference materials this person sent me, they explicitly say they don't care about cultural specificity and included mostly examples from completely different West African cultures...) to do clitoral reconstruction surgery and winds up organizing the locals to thwart a corrupt politician

@leafnoodle they repeatedly mentioned Book of Mormon as the kind of show they want to write and said, and i quote, "the music doesn't need to be, like, *African*, you can just put in enough drumming and women chanting that we get the picture"

i'm . . . not joining this project
