A World Worth Saving

Kyle Lukoff

After A comes out as transgender, his parents bring him to an anti-trans group that seeks to “fix” young people like him. He attends the meetings with friends Sal and Yarrow while their parents use their former names and worry about a supposed transgender trend. A fears being sent away for more intensive treatment. At the same time, pain-eating demons threaten the world. Drawing on Jewish mythology, this fantasy places A’s danger and his parents’ lack of acceptance alongside a larger fight against demons.
