Small Changes Over Long Periods of Time

Finley is a gay trans man who gets attacked by a vampire while trying to take a piss outside a bar. He struggles with the conflicting emotions it causes, being targeted by a cis gay guy... and then with the decision to become a vampire to avoid dying, when offered the choice by his former attacker, Andreas.

My last thought before passing out is how weirdly validating it is that this cis gay guy targeted me, when I was too scared to even piss inside the bar???s men???s room.

wow

???Do you want to call her???? he asks.

???No.??? That answer???s easy. She told me she felt like her daughter was dying when I came out. She got over it, eventually, but I don???t want to put her through a literal death after that. ???I do need to call the HR department at work, though.???

I???ve seen the Federal Vampire Commission???s list of atypical bodies. It???s trans and intersex folks. Disabled and neuroatypical folks; the F.V.C. even provides a list of prohibited surgeries and medications. Never mind those who can???t afford the required physical exams and application fee. And heaven forbid you???re a woman of childbearing age who ???might want to have kids someday; how can you be sure you won???t want to????

???You know how many doctors I???ve met who are just doing their jobs???? The one who asked if I was really, really sure, because I didn???t seem very masculine. The one who suggested psycho-sexual therapy as if my kinks disqualified me. The one who told me no cis gay men would want to sleep with me.
