Toby walrus | 6 comments I am writing a play about a trans man navigating a Christian college, and trying to conform into the type of man everybody wants him to be.

Psychological horror 13,000 words.


Once again. This is a play not a novel! If this is not an appropriate space to post such, please let me know.

Daniel is a Freshman at a Christian university. He is torn between his own fight and desire for authenticity, and the variation everybody seems to want.
He lives two lives, trying to abide to the standard of a "good Christian man" and please his friends, whilst falling into an unhealthy codependency with his roommate.
It is about the struggle with societal gender roles, and violence that ensues when conformity is pushed onto undefined youth.

Written by a trans man for my fellow misfits.
If this sounds like something you’d be interested in please let me know!💚

I really want explore the complexities and hardships of being trans without further villainizing are already difficult experiences. If you want to sensitivity or beta read please let me know!!
