emotional informative inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced

4.0

I really enjoyed this book and learned so much. Definitely a very important book regarding trans people and the injustices that exist for them. I loved Faye’s writing and you can tell the amount of work and research she put into this book, and the heart that shines through. My only reasoning for 4 stars instead of 5 is that occasionally I got lost in some of the phrasing and explanation of things because there was so much information. But I will definitely be recommending this book to people regardless, as it is crucial in our political landscape, to be able to further understand the people around us in order to love and support them better.
