A somewhat heavy read but worth it (just don't forget to check trigger warnings if needed). I didn't think I'd like this, I'm not really sure why, maybe just because I'm not a big fan of nonfiction; but I've seen it recommend many times so I decided to pick it up at the library. I was glad to find that it was more interesting than I'd anticipated, and also that certain bits were relatable to me so I was able to emotionally connect with it despite not being trans/enby.

big note off the top: I appreciate the writing style of this memoir, and that the audiobook was narrated by the author! it's always a treat when an author reads their own work.

I struggled with some of the terminology (specifically around
kink
) and concepts (specifically around topics like fanfiction). mostly due to it being substantially more graphic than I was anticipating, especially when it came to
sexual exploration as a youth and adult
and descriptions of
medical experiences
. all in all I think I would have benefitted from content warnings, or otherwise some more heads up in chapter names.

all that said I found myself often resonating the experiences explored, and generally appreciated learning more about the ones I didn't have first hand knowledge of.

This book is likely a lifeline for gender queer and trans kids (and adults!). To my knowledge, there has never before been such an honest, frank account of the experience of questioning one’s gender and figuring out sexual and gender identity.
