Abstract

In this creative essay, Eden explores the common metaphor of the transgender butterfly as a way of interrogating the broader cultural myth of transition and trans identity. Primarily through personal reflection, she argues that feminine metamorphosis is a poor and harmful understanding of trans identity and that transition is much more like Falling in Love than it is a metamorphosis.
