very sweet autobiography with very cute art- i love seeing stories similar to my own! some parts were very informational, with teachings i don’t personally need, but there are definitely people who could learn from this book.

une BD très complète qui retrace les débuts d'une transition avec douceur mais sans oublier les péripéties transphobes.

j'ai beaucoup aimé les dessins !
la façon de raconter est vraiment typique d'un fanzine mais ça change, j'aime bien.
je trouve ça chouette d'avoir le pdv à la fois de Diana et de Sara, ça montre l'intersection des discriminations très bien : transphobie, mysoginie, lesbophobie, biphobie.
les passages de violence ne sont pas atténués et c'est important de ne pas l'avoir fait, mais il n'y a pas non plus un giga focus sur ça. c'est aussi un bol de douceur et d'air frais, avec des passages super mimis, remplis d'amour.

je pense que c'est une BD parfaite pour sensibiliser les personnes à la transidentité, mais c'est aussi chouette à lire en tant que concerné.e parce que ça fait du bien de lire une histoire où tout n'est pas sur-dramatisé :)

I loved this story! As a trans person, the anecdotes were so relatable. The art and colors are also really cute.

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

The art style was very pretty, I really liked it a lot! The characters were very expressive which is always a win in my book. This book was very informative, it was nice reading about another trans person's experiences (made me feel less alone). I highly recommend to anyone who is curious or wishes to learn more about the topic.

This is just a really lovely graphic novel memoir about finding yourself, and finding people who accept you as you are. The overall tone is lighthearted, but doesn't shy away from some of the more difficult topics that come with being trans and queer in present day society. I especially appreciated that they emphasized that there is no one way to be trans, and highlighted a lot of information in that aspect. 

The tone stays pretty upbeat for most of the book, and I thoroughly enjoyed the art style. An important book and just a lovely one to read.
