Injury/gore is metaphorical and features a character impaled on a spike in a couple of different instances. It metaphorically represents emotional/physical pain and features some amount of blood, nothing else. Blood warning mainly applies to menstrual blood.theintrovertsbooks's review against another edition

Thanks to NetGalley I had the occasion to read the deluxe edition. And honestly the introduction, the afterword and the extra made this perfect book into a better than Perfect book. I love it, one of my favourite

Supporting Maia and eir work is really important to me, because over the past week, this book was in the news, and not for reasons that I would want it to be. Republicans in Virginia decided to sue em, claiming that some "obscenity laws" have been broken. To find anything obscene about this book is to be completely ignorant, lacking in context or nuance, and to not understand that this is a BOOK FOR ADULTS. There are sensitive images within the book, but they aid in the storytelling which is the entire point of graphic novels.
I talk about this because I'd like to shine light on this current issue and also I think books that are banned and challenged ESPECIALLY for bigot-ass-reasons should be read and reviewed even *harder.*
This book is currently on Kindle Unlimited if you have it - if you are interested, give it a read, give it a review, and give it more exposure to its intended audience.

there is a "character" (a real person bc it's a memoir but i feel weird just saying 'a person' ) in this book who says some terfy things to Maia and I think that should be noted.middumullu's review against another edition
