from what i understand, this is written by a cis person who has a family friend with a trans kid. this is clear when reading it, to me at least. it shows some of the most gory, angry, visible parts of growing up trans. but not the mental ones, to me. nathan’s relationship with his brother is sweet though. maybe it’s just the fact that this was translated from french that makes it read a bit strangely.
the main things that stand out to me:
1) this is written about a trans person who knows they are a binary trans man from a young age, something i simply can’t relate to
2) someone who wants and then undergoes a full medical masculinizing transition process. he experiences no discomfort around these procedures, and his mother’s feelings about this are touched on briefly but not enough.
3) someone who is very disconnected from his lesbianism, basically never saw himself as a girl. someone who had girlfriends early on, someone conventionally attractive and who passed before hormones
idk i wanted to like it but it wasn’t for me. why is a cis woman making this anyway?
