This book offers a great perspective into life as a (white) trans woman and the exploration of gender, but feels callously dismissive of the plight of people of color, cis and non-binary. I wouldn’t expect as deep of an expose on their lives (as I’m sure the author doesn’t have the experience), but making any mention of them the butt of a comparison feels… wrong.
