An important novella about gender, race, sexuality, and the importance of compassion for ourselves and other people.
"I feel mournful about how much my body has been shaped by men."
"Why is my humanity only seen or cared about when I share the ways in which I have been victimized and violated?"

An important read (or in this case, listen - which is a great option as it’s read by the author). Lots of tidbits that made me say “huh” or nod my head in agreement. Vivek says that many of the anecdotes she relays are minor but I think that’s the important part. It doesn’t have to be a sweeping horrific tragic story in order to see the impact. It’s the little everyday aggressions or even micro-aggressions.
