I thought it was really cute! Some of the drawings styles I liked better then others but that’s to be expected. It was nice to hear other trans people experiences. My favourite comic was by Lucas- the nifty fox because it was really witty and silly but also informative.

"Are my experiences valid? Valid enough to take those terrifying first steps toward embracing what I quietly know deep down to be true?"

Una antología diversa e interesante, se trata de cómics cortos que nos muestran las experiencias de diferentes artistas dentro de la comunidad trans y no binaria.
Como ocurre con cualquier antología, disfruté más algunas historias que otras, ya sea por la forma en que están contadas o el arte. Sin embargo, cada comic es tan personal que al final del día, es un libro que se siente parejo tonal y emocionalmente.
Por otro lado, me parece hermoso que el mensaje sea de esperanza sin caer en el cliché de "si te aceptas, todo va a salir bien".
En resumen, una lectura informativa y muy poderosa, altamente recomendable para entender un poco mejor a la comunidad trans y no-binaria.
Gracias a Netgalley y al editor por proporcionar una copia gratuita del libro a cambio de una reseña honesta.

A very diverse and interesting anthology of short comics that show us different artists' gender journeys.
As with any anthology, some stories and art I enjoyed more than others. But the overall result is so personal and brave that I can't help but love it as a whole.
I like that despite representing the struggles of the trans and non-binary community, the focus of the book remains hopeful.
It is a highly recommended book with a powerful message.
