(trans)(Crip)(T)

(trans)(crip)(t) breaks the fictional fourth wall of an enby4enby/t4t lesbian relationship as the speaker, who is sick and crip, starts taking testosterone.

The story will center two freaks who ran off to the circus (metaphorically now, but who knows!) for love and relationships more broadly as a space for playing with gender, sexuality, and sensuality.

I specifically chose to play with a story in which one love interest, who is sick, crip, and beginning testosterone, had been masking and the other had not - like in play | ground, for which (trans)(crip)(t) is a workshop - to indulge in a diligent hope that weaving this story can simultaneously weave different fates - that we can speculate and make space for new conditions of possibility to play into.

(Trans)(Crip)(T) will also play with masking as sacred sex - and all the comedy/tragedy that accompanies coming face-to-face with the reality that masks are an unavoidable part of life. It is the narratives around them that matter - and we’re writing new ones.
