2.0

This book feels like it was written by a cis person for cis people, but it’s about a trans man. Accessibility wise, this book was hard to follow as there was no clear orientation between time skips and POV changes. I often found myself confused despite being a well versed graphic novel reader. Lastly, the graphic mutilation throughout this book was uncalled for and very unexpected. While dysphoria can feel very graphic, it would sit better with me if created by a trans person about their own experience.
