A difficult read, but an important one. Elliot Page is such a phenomenal actor and iconic celebrity, but the man can write, too. He shares his story - which is fraught with neglect, queerphobia, and sexual violence, among other traumas - with such precise descriptions, tongue-in-cheek humor, and frank honesty. I listened to the audiobook version of Pageboy, and I got the extra treat of hearing it all in his own voice.

-Deadnaming isn't really, like traditional deadnaming -Elliot chooses to use his former first name at some points and comments on it specifically in his initial author's note. I only note it so you're not surprised to see/hear it. -Child abuse is neglect and verbal.
