She's Not There: A Life in Two Genders
by Jennifer Finney Boylan
funny
hopeful
medium-paced
Colby professor Jenny Boylan tries, over the course of 300-some pages, to set herself up as one of The Good Ones in this trans autobio for cis people. Endlessly othering any working class people she encounters (including the scant few other queer people she deigns to mention) without once examining how her own race and class shelter her from any meanigful consequence of transness or womamhood. "The New Yorker" is mentioned many times. A breezy but fundamentally disappointing read.
