WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
as someone who’s never had the privilege of falling in love yet, there are days when i feel lonely and a quiet kind of longing.... but then here comes [ale's] art and it’s like a warm blanket of comfort and reassurance that someday i’ll get my turn [at being loved,] too! it makes me look forward to being loved and it inspires me to work a little harder just like jamie and jay. that’s the kind of beauty [that ale is] bringing into the world ♡
i love the au, i love the representation of the trans community, and how you portray it. as a cis white female that lives in a very small conservative town, i’m truly not exposed to those who use different pronouns than their biological gender. it’s really hard for me to get their pronouns right, and i think that your au kind of exposes me to it.... i love everything about this au.
I’ve been reading [Familiar] and, as someone who is heterosexual, I love how you brought up Jamie’s struggles in the latest chapter and [made] Jamie someone [that people] can relate to and feel represented [by]. My respect for transgender [people] and the entire LGBTQ+ community has grown and still does as I continue learning and seeing [Jaymie's] experiences as well as being happy for them for finding their true (gender) identity despite their insecurities/doubts ♡
