ok so i just learned this is actually something that happens in one of the cosmere books ::: >! (dawn shard) !< ::: and that was explicitely confirmed by brandon sanderson in an inderview. thats so amazing uwu

the cosmere books are still lacking im terms of trans representation imo but hey better some then none at all :3

[mistborn spoiler until era 2]

:::

!i really love the first mistborn book and its revolution. the later books disappointed me though, with how much power the nobility kept, even spanning to era 2, where their ancestors still mostly controll politics and economy, while the ancestors of the scaa became the opressed workers of that industrial society. i get that this could be considered a possible realistic outcome and that stories work better in injust worlds but it still hurts me a lot to see it as well as how little is done against it. this influences how i feel about the series as a whole… so ig my favourite is “the final empire: the series” lol!< :::
