So many big thoughts and emotions. I relate to almost all of eir experiences. I felt so seen yet so sad for the confusion and loneliness both of us possessed for so long. So tender yet informative, heartbreaking yet hopeful. Must read for everyone. Redefined what a graphic novel can look like for me.

I’m hopefully going to come back and add to my review once I detangle some of my feelings.

CW for transphobia, homophobia, medical content and trauma, Harry Potter references pre-JKR was openly a blatant transphobe, blood, vomit

Oh, surprise, une autobiographie de plus réalisée par une personne appartenant à l’alphabet mafia qui ne s’inscrit absolument pas dans une perspective intersectionnelle ! Quel plaisir !

Pour ne pas finir fâché, j’ai trouvé que la représentation la plus intéressante (car peu fréquente) était le rapport extrêmement compliqué du MC vis-à-vis de ses rdv « obligatoires » chez lae gynéco. Mais là encore on reste en surface.

Est-ce que je le conseille ? Pour un.e ado, peut-être. Sinon pitié non.

Beautiful and reflective graphic novel about the author's coming out story and relationship with gender. I could relate a lot but also got many new perspectives and I love media that makes us more empathetic. Also beautiful art style. And loved the fandom-references, they were very relatable (unfortunately)

This book hit too close to home in a good way, as someone who identifies as a trans-masc non-binary person it was nice to read some of the same experiences I had/have (especially with coming out and correcting people on pronouns), it's a nice reminder that I'm not totally alone in having these experiences.
