ranj1580's review against another edition
Please note the content warnings for this book. Considering the nature of my criticism, I think it's helpful to state that I'm nonbinary. This review contains a lot of spoilers. If you'd like to avoid spoilers, I encourage you to read reviews from other trans individuals. Even if you choose to read this review, I still encourage you to read other trans individuals' reviews as I obviously don't speak for the entire community.
There's an emphasis on body parts equating to gender and on being stealth/in the closet as being deceptive. Georgia is depicted as a heroic ally when for the majority of the book, she's hesitant to accept Pony being trans at risk of damaging her social status. Additionally, Georgia publishes information about Pony and his identity without asking his permission.
I believe this book presents a potentially harmful depiction of the trans experience.
