One of the more entertaining and down to earth trans memoirs I’ve read, and one of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to.

I flew through Horse Barbie. I really truly loved this; yet again proved to me trans women are always gonna be my fav writers. It's so funny and so full of heart. She gut punched me and then made me laugh and then made me tear up, usually within the same chapters. She also had stellar attention to detail - when the setting was important, you knew the background down to the color scheme and texture.

Yes some of this was giving liberal girlboss but I forgive it because she goes in about colonialism and religion too lmao and that comes with the territory like not every trans auntie can be a revolutionary communist. 

Overall I found this book so inspiring and badass yet warm and comforting. I cherished reading every word. Highly recommend no matter what you're in the mood for or your typical reading preferences.
