C’est un bon livre, mais très triste et déprimant.  Je ne sais pas pourquoi il n’y a pas du tout des personnes trans ou intersexuée dans les femmes vivantes, mais ce livre était écrit dans 1995 et peut-être c’est l’âge de ce livre qui explique ça.

A mysterious and gripping piece centered around humanity and feminism (or lack thereof were misogyny lacking). An interesting perspective in a strange, solitary world. It's adventurous as well as solemn and thought-provoking. A look into a perspective free from many constraints. This is a book worth digesting for that concept alone for comparisons value.

‘Lord, if you’re up there somewhere, and you aren’t too busy, come and say a few words to me, because I’m very lonely and it would make me so happy.’

I sobbed so hard with this. I love everything about this book, that it makes me ponder on humanity as I was going through it. Devastation would be the greatest depiction of what this book brought to me. I want to staple each and every word from this piece into my brain. Please read it.
