This book is definitely not for the weak-stomached.
I'm content with having read this piece, but it's not one that I'm going to recommend to others. If you're thinking of reading something that is going to make you uncomfortable, go ahead.
The biggest content warning I've got is also a spoiler: very early in this book there is

You want to feel uncomfortable? This book has it all!alienguy's review against another edition
i think all stories about trans people are important. i'll fiercely defend this book's existence, but it's absolutely not for me, lmfao

But all that gory detail is sort of... refreshing, in a way? I tire of apocalyptic stories that dance around the bone-deep difficulty of staying alive and instead focus on, I dunno, trite romance and neat labels. All the characters in this book are complicated and allowed to be difficult. Why should these trans women be some sort of model minority just because they are the protagonists? They have far bigger things to worry about — like feral man-creatures, militarized TERF gangs, and "I'm one of the good ones!" cis girls who would sell you to Satan for a proverbial corn chip. Damn, just give a gal a crossbow and let's get moving.

I definitely see why there are people that love this book. I love a lot of weird gross unhinged horror books. Just not this one!
