The first sentence of this book resonated so much: I´m afraid of men because it was men who taught me to fear. 
It´s a collection of thoughts and experiences from the author that are tough to read. I could see how some women rated this book so low for some things the author mentions at the end, but overall I think I learnt a lot about how is the reality of a trans person.

Im Afraid of Men and all that comes in a world that loves masculinity. 

This book left me thinking about my past experiences with men, whether it was related to something violent or "good". A quick read but also reflective and honestly, if youre upset by the title, read it.

Thank you Vivek for sharing your experiences and being vulnerable with the world. The stories in this book are emotional and eye opening in regard to the fear of men women and gender non conforming people feel.
