3.0

informative reflective slow-paced

 I bought this book at a library book sale here in town, and I am glad I didn't pay a lot for it. It bored me to death. I hate saying that, because the subject matter of transgender persons is a serious topic that is much in the forefront of the news and law making these days. I certainly came to appreciate the struggle of someone who feels that they are not living their true, authentic life. I have never had to feel that way before, and I cannot imagine how hard that has to be. Not to mention the sideways looks and struggles on has to face if they are not what society thinks they should be. I'm sure that this book means a lot more to people who are struggling with these issues, but I was glad to learn more about these issues that I was unaware of.
