hi! i saw your post about the insane things that occur in the DEH novel and i was wondering if you could explain the trans one? i’m very interested and confused lol
Sure thing! In the first chapter of the novel, Evan complains to the reader that the first day of school "always feels like sensory overload," especially because of all the new information he has to absorb about everyone:
"New wardrobes, tech, vehicles. New hair styles, colors, lengths. New piercings and tattoos. New couples. Whole new sexual orientations and gender identities. New classes, students, teachers" (p. 11).
It's so jarring and out of left field after listing a ton of aesthetic, surface-level stuff...unless you think that other people's queerness is also aesthetic and surface level. My least favorite part is that genders and sexualities are the only ones that are whole new, implying that they're not just new to the individual students who just came out but instead, you know, recently invented. Over summer vacation.
It's not the most offensive part of the novel by any means. It's not even the most queerphobic part of the novel. It's just a moment that profoundly baffles me because it's so random and microaggresive, sandwiched in the middle of a dozen completely banal things.
Also, if you listen to the audiobook you get to hear that line read out loud by nonbinary gay Evan Hansen veteran Ben Levi Ross, who I imagine had some thoughts and feelings in the recording studio that day.

With Dear Evan Hansen closing (and the possibility of independent productions in the near future), here's a tip: you probably had a good chance of being cast in Dear Evan Hansen if your name is Ben, Michael, or Sam.
