the transphobia by a sex partner was particularly upsetting to me as a trans person, as was the graphic on-page sexual assault of trans man resulting from bathroom harassment

mispaintedlady's review

Transphobia is why I didn’t finish the book. It was incredibly uncomfortable how  the book failed to address trans people, gender fluid people and queer people in general. 

It came off really dated. It progressively got worse as it was clear the gender fluid main character was having comparison drawn to AI being “gender less” and also the monster from the book Frankenstein.

Huge TW for transphobia towards characters in the book but also in the clearly problematic views the author must hold that come through in the writing.
