There’s probably a bit of selection bias due to it being a university course. The only A Novel I’ve read is Detransition Baby, and while it definitely had libshit-y vibes at times (I was not surprised to find out that Torrey Peters has an MFA) it kinda seems like anything that anti-assimilationist is automatically precluded from being true libshit. Like, libshit is about preserving the status quo, and I feel like with how marginalized trans people are simply providing a trans narrative that doesn’t cater to cis audiences or cis sensibilities runs counter to that

I am also not surprised that Peters has an MFA, but yes the A Novels do at least carry a strong anti-assimilationist streak, and Manhunt is actually pretty based frankly. Doesn't seem to have stopped the libs from glomming onto one or two sadly, but not catering to cis audiences is something I love about this funny special interest of mine. I do worry sometimes that the publishers view it like a carnival sideshow though...
