This book felt very close and comforting to me because I as a trans person have experienced and felt many of the things that Faye discusses. This is not to say that every trans person has dealt with the same things but coincidentally Faye and I have to an extent.
Reading this felt very honest and raw, there is more of a Memoire/ anecdotal component as compared to Faye’s other book (the transgender issue), which has made this book an easier read for me personally. There are still many resources backing Faye’s claims in her bibliography which I found to be quite interesting and helpful.
I was honestly a little upset when this book ended because I just wanted more of it.

I will definitely purchase this book as soon as it hits the shelves!
