this book was incredibly meaningful to me. i saw myself in it at times, out of place and time. i saw history. i saw oppression on a scale that i dont experience today as a white canadian trans lady.

the butches, the femmes, the others, the neithers, the trans men, women, enbies of the 60s and 70s, really did change the world. it's still scary and there's still work to do. but their suffering, the wars they had to fight, meant something.

i hope it's the same for me.
