AI, Magic, and Trans Fiction

Blending queerness, technology, and magic, A.E. Osworth is reshaping what fiction can create. In this episode, Imara sits down with the award-winning novelist to talk about their unique approach to storytelling. They unpack the cultural fallout of GamerGate, how it inspired their debut novel We Are Watching Eliza Bright, and what it reveals about gender, power, and the internet. The conversation also explores A.E.’s fascination with artificial intelligence, including how they think about the ethical ways AI can be used as part of a writing practice.  Send your trans joy recommendations to translash_podcast @ translash [dot] org  Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, and Facebook.
