I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya

challenging reflective fast-paced

3.75

Wow, this was short but very well done. It gave me a very intimate look into the experience of being a trans woman, especially a BIPOC trans woman. On top of that, it was also a reckoning with the patriarchy, and Vivek Shraya challenged me to examine the gender binary, as well as the morality and standards placed upon men and women. I especially appreciated the short section where she talks about what makes a "good man", and how we can free ourselves and our partners from patriarchal ideals that are rooted in white supremacy and Christian evangelicalism. Just a really thought-provoking and intimate read that I wish was longer.
