jesus fucking CHRIST what a mess. i went into this book trying to give it the benefit of the doubt despite the mixed reviews because i've liked the author's other books alright, but this was godawful.
a trans character who is literally nothing but their transness, and is also raped for no reason: it has no bearing on the character or the plot, it just happens and bears no consequence in any way. the only reason it's there is maybe to imply that transmasculine people won't be respected even in this imaginary futuristic take of the world the author has presented us.
a good cis lgbt author does not a good trans author make
