Deciding to love yourself was the whole point of this book. All the ups and downs of life, the self discovery of a trans person. The pain of being trans and living in a world not built for trans people.
While some of the pacing was a bit awkward and the timeline was difficult to follow but I ended up loving listening to this; especially since the author was also the narrator.
I learned a lot about this author and I’m so happy that he was in a place to write this book and share it with the world. I also liked how he mentioned several times about his privilege in a very genuine way, actually acknowledging the problems with trans healthcare and other issues as well.
