Stunning book. McBee’s writing is captivating and truly stunning. Could not help from rereading and absorbing so many delicious sentences. An incredible perspective into life in multiple bodies in a singular but changing world.

challenging dark emotional reflective tense fast-paced

As a gay trans man, this was a somewhat difficult read and showed me a gap in masculine experiences as shaped by sexuality and performance. While I found McGee's experiences almost entirely unrelatable, his writing is self reflective and offers insight into the pressures to perform a strictly heterosexual masculinity.

I was made deeply uncomfortable by the use of anti-gay male slurs and with the author's approach to the casual use of such slurs in all-male settings.
