challenging informative reflective medium-paced

3.5

The writing of this book was beautiful and the thoughts refreshing and differentiated. A lot of it went completely over my head though, which made the reading experience slightly frustrating at times

megg's review against another edition

Ugh I was expecting something akin to stone butch or bechdel, and I could see this was trying to be that, but utterly failing. Don't whine to me about how hard having a partner who wants hrt or top surgery is. And I don't care about ur obscure philosophy references. Completely insufferable.
