Couldn't put it down. I read it all in one session at the library.

Just as engaging and fascinating as her parenting memoir. Afterward by Richard Russo adds a nice perspective.

I really enjoyed this book, right after finishing up I'm Looking Through You (although this one came out 5 years before that one). Lots of highlights in this book as well! Read the ebook and listened to the audiobook.

The pieces in parts one and two are some really astoundingly good storytelling. The back half is a little more essay-ish in a way that I personally found less engaging, but thes sections more for non-trans audiences than for me. A really neat time capsule.

I didn't expect this to be such a funny, easy read.
"... there was my advocate, a concerned-looking man I called Dr. Strange (p. 120)."
I'm picturing Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Strange in a therapist office.

Congratulations. You've just had your first experience of sexism... at age 42.
I first became acutely aware of misogyny at age 4. Imagine how confident women and girls would be without that.
