Reviews and Comments

This book is scathing to say the least.

The subject introduced as the topic of those affected most by transmisogyny is not the transfemme, transfeminine person, or the trans woman, but rather the trans feminized, which seems to offer an interesting peek as to where this analysis is going to go.

This book might require sitting with some discomforts to my own complicity in trans feminizing people who aren't trans feminine, and thus complicit in trans misogyny myself. But, those discomforts are often a good thing.

I'm so excited to read more!

This book is something!

Finally done with this lol. I really want to read the other Bright Falls books.

The way this book talks about sex as an aspec person is incredible, and I love it.

Another way-too-interesting-to-ignore read "suggested" by @alks@ni.hil.ist

Julia Serano never disappoints.

I was compelled to read it from an interview I saw on this Khadija video, where Serano discussed derivitization: youtu.be/sBfU-6l8m78

I found the idea discussed throughout this book about the Predator/Prey model dictating the sexual script of our society, and the unique way in which Serano outlined how this is significantly different from previous feminist theory of objectification.

This is a profound roadmap to sexual liberation in an intersectional way, and a "must-read" if you're asking me about it honestly.

What a stellar YA coming-of-age novel!

Felix is a very relatable and great character, navigating romance and the complexities of his gender identity as a black trans teenage boy from a working class family, attending a prestigious arts program in Brooklyn.

Kacen's writing is clever but not pretentious. It introduces complex social topics in an approachable way that doesn't take from the story or preach.

I really hope the future brings us more YA novels with bipoc queer representation like this.

"Mandatory reading" according to @alks@todon.eu, this will definitely be my next nonfiction read.

Recommendation from @zerofox@plush.city, and it looks pretty cool! So into the list it goes.

I actually liked this better than Dream of a Woman. What a fantastic and raw bunch of stories.
