What Your Favorite Final Girl Says About You

Final girls — we love them, we look up to them, we are in awe of their power. Heck, my first piece at POME was all about them! They’re a lasting part of horror films for a reason! Who can forget Suzy Bannion, smiling victoriously in the rain at the end of Suspiria (1978), or Sally Hardesty, covered in blood and riding away from Leatherface, giddy with escape at the end of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1975)? We all have a favorite Final Girl, and our respective faves have something to say about ourselves. Pick your favorite from the list below, and we’ll give you some brief personal insight.

The First Trans Person I Ever Saw Was in a Tabloid

Within my own lifetime, I have seen the evolution of how the trans body is seen in the public eye. Trans folks walk through the world as educators, storytellers, and activists, not necessarily by choice but rather by design. Even so, we usually play the game of “my eyes are up here” while people scrutinize our bodies like tiny frogs on dissection tables.
