Do NOT Support ‘Adam’ When The Film Comes Out

I’ve talked about this before on this blog but this is the most disgustingly transphobic and lesbophobic narrative I’ve ever come across. 

CWs: transphobia, homophobia, lesbophobia, corrective rape, voyeurism

The book Adam by Ariel Schrag is being turned into a movie which has been named as one of the most exciting LGBTQ films of the year. You should know before watching that the book is about a cis boy who pretends to be a trans man in order to persuade lesbians to sleep with him.

Yeah… you read that right.

Book plot summary: 

boy spies on his lesbian sister having sex

boy decides to pretend to be a trans man (gross)

i.e. pretends to have a vagina because he thinks lesbians will want him then (he literally wants to fuck lesbians because he watched his lesbian sister have sex wtf)

he does get a lesbian to sleep with him, he straps his penis down using ace bandages and uses a strap on.

all the actual trans dudes we meet identify as lesbians this basically implies that trans men are not real men (lesbians i.e. women)  

another time they have sex again only he uses his actual penis but tells her its a strap on. that’s literally rape, she didn’t consent to an actual penis.

he confesses that he’s been lying to her this whole time but she doesn’t break up with him. she even says its okay cause she fantasised about him being “a real boy"

that’s a direct quote. massive transphobia. huge. not to mention this is now the “lesbian is cured by dick trope” which is disgusting and that trope leads to real lesbians and bi women being raped to “fix” them. 

he leaves new york, they’re long distance. they get in an argument and he calls her a slut and a whore among other things and then she dumps him

eventually they get back in touch and she has a new cis boyfriend so yep, she’s been “cured” woo she’s actually straight and he helped her realise that yay (massive sarcasm)

It is deeply deeply transphobic. To imply that our identities are just costumes for other people to put on erases who we are as people. More than that, to imply it is done to trick people into sex is a dangerous lie that literally gets us killed.

It is also deeply lesbophobic. To fuel this narrative that lesbians can be “fixed” by having sex with a man leads to real corrective rapes happening. 

Here is a review of the book by a trans man. I have yet to find one by a lesbian but will edit this if I do.

This book gives out incredibly harmful notions about trans men and lesbians that are used to hurt them in real life. It’s so entrenched in the narrative that I don’t see how the film can possibly be any better.

I do not say any of this lightly. it’s very very rare for me to call out a piece of fiction or for me to decide that a story is unfixable. But this… there’s no excuse for the bigotry in this. 

I’d like to tell people to boycott it but I can’t tell you what to do. So instead I’m going to ask that you share this because it being named as an exciting new LGBTQ film is going to make LGBTQ teens want to see it. And they should know beforehand how hurtful it could be. They should be able to arm themselves with that knowledge.

Don’t make queer kids see this film believing it will represent them only to be exposed to this hatred of their identities. 

Please reblog.

I’m thinking of writing a fic about Arthur actually running away to live with merlin on a farm, including

-small house in a big forest

-arthur learning how to farm, actually enjoying it but not wanting to let merlin know

-having to hide from Camelot patrols

-gwen is the only one who knows where they are, but can’t visit because she knows morgana or uther would have her followed

-nightmares in daylight, reminders of an old life, swords underneath the bed and spell books in the closet

-arthur naming the chickens and trying to ride a sheep

-arguing about who’s turn it is do the washing up

-trying to forget why they live alone in the forest and knowing exactly what would happen if they went back

-day long treks to the closest village

-peals of laughter that deer cock their heads at, the smell of soup filling the kitchen with a rich, salty warmth, fire dancing in the grate, merlin constantly humming

-a fire breathing cat

-indecision–is it worth going back??

-druids

-arthur watching merlin slide effortlessly into this life, wondering how the fool he’s known for so long is now teaching him how to survive

-magic, magic everywhere

-bursts of happiness, the smell of wood burning, bright glints in dark hair, weak autumn light, love, warm skin, glowing stars

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in reading it if I put it out there?

Me when I’m a floopy haired autistic person of high intelligence raised in a bum ass town that while caring about my coworkers feels an intrinsic alienation from them and everyone around me that leads me to helping the cannibalistic serial killer that me and my coworkers are activity trying to catch.

You meet the most interesting people in the doctors waiting room

gays, lend me your strength

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

REMEMBER SKIP-IT FROM THE 90’S
