challenging funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book has been my lifeline for many a night where the loneliness of just existing is too much to bear. I'm well aware I'm not the only person in the world with feelings like this but when you're closeted and stuck in a place where merely changing your hair gives you vile reactions from strangers, it's hard not to spiral and succumb into their disgust.

I read each entry like a long email from an old friend: some waxing poetic and reflective about life, others straight forward to the nitty gritty. Sometimes it's a little TMI, but I have to remind myself that trans love (both romantic and sexual) have been censored enough. 

I can't thank you enough for being part in the creation of this book. Thanks for being my mentors, even just for the span of a hundred or so pages.
