I think this should be mandatory reading for everyone, not just queer people. So important even 30 years later.

Heel indrukwekkend en aangrijpend. Goed geschreven. Onze geschiedenis is lang en rommelig, en dit boek maakt er een belangrijk deel van uit.

This is my first time reading SBB cover to cover after years of excerpts. Butchfemme history means the world to me, actually. 
I think this will be a yearly reread.

I've been fighting the urge to dnf this for almost 2 months, and I officially give up. I understand the importance of this novel, but it is just not well written. At all.

i love this book with my whole fucking heart, it means more to me than words could express. it’s undoubtedly my favourite book but so close to my heart that if anyone were to ask me i would have to think twice before telling them.
