This book hit too close to home in a good way, as someone who identifies as a trans-masc non-binary person it was nice to read some of the same experiences I had/have (especially with coming out and correcting people on pronouns), it's a nice reminder that I'm not totally alone in having these experiences.

I particularly admired how this story navigates conversations around consent, and considering the needs of another in a relationship the way you would want to be considered. This might mean walking away from a potential relationship because you know what the other person wants is not what you can or want to give at the time. It also means walking away when you feel uncomfortable rather than feeling obligated to engage in an interaction at your own expense. It's ok to ask for what you want and voice how you would like to be treated. Maia seems like a gentle soul, and I admired eir courage and kindness in relational and social situations in this story.

Read the Portuguese version, translated by Elga Fontes and published by ASA.

This is the type of book that can change someone's lives. It certainly changed mine. Even if you're not questioning your gender identity, it's worth reading just so you can better understand those who do. Maia's story is extremely empathetic.
