Extremely well written, and also I feel like I've just had my heart beaten to a bloody pulp. Is that a good thing? Depends on what you're going for, I suppose. Sensitive handling of a large number of difficult topics:
the experience of being a trans kid
coming into ones sexuality as an adolescent
transphobia and homophobia
parental incarceration
incest/sexual abuse
it's...a pretty big list. Treat yourself gently after reading.
