This wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. It was thought provoking and a good book to start off pride month . . . but still not exactly what I was expecting and I found myself confused a few times.

i just don’t think i can read anymore novels that, in this case, use transphobic, homophobic, racist, ableist and sexist language as well as descriptions of hate crimes in the name of some sort of unnecessary and uncalled for historical record.

As a trans man the way Victor was treating Ry, especially with their relationship, felt invalidating and borderline transphobic/invalidating of his gender. Just because he hasn't got a dick doesn't mean fucking him isn't gay man
