A review by deerfangs
S/He by Minnie Bruce Pratt

Did not finish book. Stopped at 55%.

Not quite what I was looking for in a memoir; it's less a straightforward chronicle of the author's life and more a series of very short (1-2 page) smutty one-shots expounding her perspective on butch/femme love, sex, life, and questions around the nature of sexuality and gender expression. A lot of it is very personal to Minnie Bruce Pratt and Leslie Feinberg's relationship (you can see the crossover quite clearly if you've read Feinberg's autofiction), which is very sweet — too sweet for my taste.

There was also something slightly discomfiting as a trans person about reading Pratt's non-trans lens on being with Feinberg — again, nothing wrong there, it's clear how much they loved and respected each other, just wasn't into reading it.
