90% of horror by white authors is basically imagining if the treatment of people of color, in the US and elsewhere, were happening to white people.

Disabled writers have said this better than I have.

If anyone has articles/essays/resources by trans authors about body horror, please PLEASE send me them. I& #39;ve read Jack Halberstam& #39;s, but more accessible theory and/or personal essays would be very welcome.
