Berberick offers us a unique view through a nonbinary lens and invites us to reread the media we consume, whether mainstream or independently produced. Written with great thought and care, they center the complex narratives of everyday trans masculine lived experiences, including the most intimate and vulnerable of topics, that are ignored by mainstream media and instead must reside in online media spaces trans people harness for storytelling and worldmaking. Let us hope that mainstream media, especially in its role as cultural pedagogue, will heed Berberick’s call for increased representation of more nuanced characters whose genders span the continuum and in whom trans and nonbinary viewers can see themselves.
