‘there are few actions one can take that are as wholly encompassing as a gender transition. My emotional, spiritual, political, and aesthetic wills all coalesce around this singularity, and I spend every day writing and rewriting the terms and meanings of my own body. There are several easy platitudes trans people roll out when speaking about our transitions; platitudes about our objective inner identities, that smooth the contours of our contourless bodies, that we feel honoured to be represented by Caitlin fucking-Jenner. Foremost, this play begins with the provocation, what if we told trans stories without relying on these platitudes?’ — eva rees
