I found this really interesting and thoughtful and compelling. I'm not sure I'd say I loved it or anything like that, but I was engaged the whole time and especially loved her thoughts on motherhood and queerness.

funny informative reflective slow-paced

I listened to the graphic birth scene while I was having cold sweat diarrhea and those two things combined created a truly cinematic experience.

Other than that this book was too smart for me, I enjoyed parts and some bits really stuck with me but it came off too pretentious and academic at times. Very much from a white woman's perspective. Don’t regret reading it tho

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.
