This is a powerful read, and an eye-opening account of one trans woman's journey to accepting herself. I had no prior experience with Janet Mock, having gotten this book recommended to me while watching Elliot Page's interview with Oprah, but I'm really glad I picked it up. It helps to show one reality of what being trans could be like in America. (Mock makes a point several times of mentioning that she's not speaking for all trans women, but this is her story so it does provide an example for what growing up trans was like for her.)
