Wow, this was short but very well done. It gave me a very intimate look into the experience of being a trans woman, especially a BIPOC trans woman. On top of that, it was also a reckoning with the patriarchy, and Vivek Shraya challenged me to examine the gender binary, as well as the morality and standards placed upon men and women. I especially appreciated the short section where she talks about what makes a "good man", and how we can free ourselves and our partners from patriarchal ideals that are rooted in white supremacy and Christian evangelicalism. Just a really thought-provoking and intimate read that I wish was longer.

Very impactful message and emotional quotes.
The timeline was really confusing for me at some points and I kind of stuggled to link it all together when a lot feels discombobulated but i liked the message behind each other stories.
“Why is my humanity only seen or cared about when I share the ways in which I have been victimized and violated?” Was my favourite quote
