The book saw children as merely property. Additionally, womanhood was seen mostly as caring for children or having a baby which is inherently sexist.
The book was supposed to be funny but nothing about it was funny whatsoever. The summary made it seem like these women were going to be raising a baby together and that’s what I was expecting to see within the first couple chapters not just filler. The ambiguous ending sucked.
10/10 do not recommend and I am surprised by the overwhelming amount of positive reviews. THIS IS NOT GOOD TRANS REPRESENTATION AND DO NOT PICK THIS UP TO LEARN ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE! I really wanted to root for a trans author but im sorry this book was not the one.
All of these characters deeply need therapy tbh (preferably feminist therapy)

Such an honest look at what womanhood means for (some) Trans-Women, juxtaposed next to what it means for Cis-women of colour, and the struggles of coming to motherhood.
I have learned so much from this book.
