Shapeshifting, Genderbending, and Glitter: Why Fairies Are Queer AF

Forget Tinker Bell! Fairies have always been way more subversive than you think. In this video, I explore the queer history of fairies in literature and folklore, tracing their roots from ancient Celtic and Slavic myth to Victorian fiction to modern-day queer fantasy. Fairies aren’t just glittery sidekicks: they’re shapeshifting, gender-defiant, morally gray icons who’ve been used for centuries to tell stories about queerness, otherness, and freedom.
