Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel M. Lavery

5.0

I don't know how to begin writing about how intensely this book affected me but I'll start with this: there are a few differences between me and Daniel Lavery - he is a trans man and i am nonbinary, he was raised Christian and i was very much not - and despite not sharing these two details of his life that are integral to this book, i was still bowled over with intense emotion while reading. Never have i read something that has so perfectly summed up my intense and sometimes devastating feelings about my transition and made me laugh out loud at the same time. This collection of essays is clever and beautiful and i will be thinking about it for a long time.
