I felt really pulled into this memoir and thought the author had some really good philosopical points that made me think as well as great voice.
There were a couple of sections where internal and external dialogue were not formatted distinctly and i had to read those sections so many times to understand what the author was trying to say.

a short memoir from Vivek Shraya about her growing up & into herself as a queer transwoman and all the internalized/societal issues shes faced involving men as well as women. she touches on tough topics but there's good things here, too. I love her writing and insights about gender itself as well as gender expression. I would definitely recommend this and will be reading more of her work in the future.

What I especially loved being themed is how it is often gay men that make queer spaces unsafe and uncomfortable for female-presenting people. Their gayness does not excuse the casual misogyny they often display.
