"i am chapters that are still unwritten and so are you." a touching memoir with insightful and important conversations about colonialism, colourism, indigenous trans history and the future of trans possibility. i don't care for the uncritical inclusion of people like obama or companies like playboy (mentioning marilyn in connection to them without aknowledging the harm they caused her is icky) but that was basically only in 2 chapters towards the end so overall would recommend. should be listened to on audiobook for the wonderful music and singing (usually a pet peeve of mine in audiobooks turns out to be one of this book's strengths!) as well as atmospheric audio which enhances the experience, making it easier to immerse yourself in geena's world.

Im so happy to have listened to this story! What a joy it is to have access to a story so rich, but specifically a memoir of a trans women sprinkled with joy, that made me both emotional and grin throughout.
Loved listening to this on audio, with Geena as the narrator herself.
I will miss this book, and come back to my favorite parts many times in the future!
