Meredith Russo's 2016 young adult novel If I Was Your Girl follows the story of Amanda Hardy, a recently transitioned 19-year-old, fleeing suburban Atlanta to live with her estranged father in rural Lambertville, Tennessee, an apocryphal space somewhere in the Appalachian foothills along Interstate 75. Twentieth- and twenty-first century queer narratives and historiographies tend to depict migrations towards urban centers, but Russo's novel envisions the opposite: a trans girl seeks anonymity in a conservative rural space where she is unknown so that she can pass as trans and live as a "normal" girl, not a queer person. This essay analyzes the different ways that Russo's novel engages with narratives of queer migration for gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals while also offering a revision to that narrative for a trans person seeking to fit into cisgender and heteronormative social settings, not fleeing them for queer urban space.
