Mina Flores arrives at Halcyon College of the Arts determined to build a life that finally feels like her own. A trans girl starting over on a campus full of beautiful language, sharp politics, and messy reality, she takes a job at the school caf and tries to stay invisible long enough to find her footing.
Then she meets Rhea Levin.
Rhea is a guarded, brilliant illustrator whose protest posters are everywhere and whose patience is nowhere. She is sharp, politically serious, visibly disabled, and impossible for Mina to stop noticing. What begins as charged glances and late night conversations slowly becomes something deeper as both women are pulled into the tensions of campus life, where people speak fluently about inclusion, care, and justice but often fail each other when it matters most.
As Mina and Rhea move closer, they have to navigate performative allyship, public callouts, old emotional residue, and the fear of being loved in theory instead of in real life. Tender, intelligent, and quietly intense, Pronouns on the Name Tag is a queer campus romance about being seen clearly, choosing honesty over performance, and discovering that real love is not always polished, but it can still be true.
