I really enjoyed this book. Its mostly a memoir with a little bit of cultural criticism. 

I have not read this author's previous memoir, "She's Not There". I imagine my experience of this book might have been enhanced if I had, however, it reads perfectly well without it. Some essays where more impactful than others, which is my usual experience with a memoir written like this. 

As a memoir, it didn't feel particularly revelatory. However, it is really special to read a book from the perspective of an elder queer person, especially a trans woman. We've lost so many of them. This feels special for that reason.
