For queer people, our wounds are often those of deeply internalized
caused by anti-queerness and grief for not getting to have had the adolescence and upbringing we wished could have been. The feelings we feel when witnessing the teens inand other queer YA, in many ways are feelings both of our current adult selves and those of our younger selves. We feel our adult selves’ response to observing the lives of queer teen characters and we may also feel our younger selves’ response .
