I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

"I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter" is a military science fiction short story by Isabel Fall, published on 1 January 2020 in Clarkesworld Magazine. The story relates the experience of Barb, an originally female helicopter pilot whose gender was reassigned to "attack helicopter" as a method of improving pilot performance. The story was a finalist for the 2021 Hugo Award, under the title "Helicopter Story". The story's original title is taken from an Internet meme used to disparage transgender people. Some read the story as transphobic or as trolling, and at Fall's request, Clarkesworld withdrew the story after Fall—a transgender woman—was harassed because of it. This caused a discussion among writers and critics about the merits of art that some perceive as hurtful.
