  • Igor is not transphobic. He was traumatized by a trans person who utterly betrayed his trust, so now he’s having a hard time getting past that trauma. He was in a sexual relationship that required his consent and knowledge of the fact that the person he was having sex with is trans. He was not given the opportunity to give informed consent, which to me is another form of sexual assault. Her expecting him to have any enthusiasm about engaging sexually with his assailant/the person who sexually traumatized him is beyond bonkers. This ain’t a soap opera, they ain’t Luke and Laura, and people don’t tend to fall in love with the person who sexually traumatized them. Igor is doing his best to get beyond the trauma, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’d give him credit for trying, but I’m still uncertain of his motives, so I’ll hold off on that unless/until he shows some genuine emotional connection to her. But if he can’t, Nikki has nobody but herself to blame. She weaponized being trans to devastate him during a spat. I just don’t see how they get past that.










  • Counterpoint: She smells a rat and is trying to prevent her sister from marrying that loser. Mind you, SHE didn’t ask to see his DMs; she asked if he’d let Shekinah see them. And his treatment of her was deplorable. “You’re cute, but you talk too much” is such a demeaning thing to say to a woman. It’s basically saying all of her value is in her looks, but she loses value in his estimation when she dares to ask him some salient questions he doesn’t want to answer.

    I don’t particularly care for Shariyah or Shekinah, but I’m entirely repulsed by Sarper.
