From the first chapter, which managed to trans rapture anxiety, I knew this was going to be a five star book for me. And I was entirely right. It's a comfort and a joy to read something that shouts my own anxieties back at me and makes me feel less alone. And another joy to my religion nerd self to walk away with a dozen new Bible interpretations.
It's scattered, it jumps subject and tone in every chapter and interlude -- something I found delightful for my short attention span. There was still consistency in reappearing themes and references, and I thought that the end wrapped things up very nicely.

this was a very hit-or-miss book for me but considering when it did hit it hit so hard it gave me a gender crisis i simply cannot give it anything less than 5 stars. i think i need to try hormones

Listened to the audiobook by the author, I would recommend. Got lost a bit in the interludes, but overall well paced and well written. Insightful and articulate on trans topics.

Very good book, would probably be improved if I weren't on Danny's mailing list, because I feel like about half of these essays appeared there first in draft form. I do LIKE them though, so some of them I don't mind seeing again.
This book I want to say was parts Trans Ex(?)-Christian Identity personal memoir, parts complex allegories to classical literature which I have never read, and parts mixing all of that with like, really great humor, and I was very interested in most of it except the literature which went way way over my head. i DO not know about corinthians despite having more of a christian upbringing than like 90% of my friends, also i DO not know about king arthur. i DID very much like "jacob who is now called israel, but don't worry if you get it wrong sometimes it's a big change for everyone." half this book i want to highlight and send out in pamphlets to everyone i know, and like 20% of it my eyes glazed over for. net very very positive though

A lot of the religious stuff I didn’t get and just skipped past it, but his descriptions of his thoughts before transitioning were so absolutely brilliant and sometimes hilarious. I keep referring back to my highlights in this book.
