This book single handedly made me go from "shit I don't know if I'm trans or not" to "she is just like me fr fr" and got rid of most of my impostor syndrome about being trans, so if you have any doubts, highly recommended
oh and there is superhero stuff and it's great but come on trans stuff takes the came

"I see a world that is terrified of me. Terrified of someone who would reject manhood. Terrified of a girl who knows who she is and what she's capable of. They are small, and they are weak, and they will not hurt me ever again.

My name is Danielle Tozer. I am a girl. No one is strong enough to take that from me anymore."

I loved this book. It's a bit rough around the edges. Most of the side characters don't have enough time to shine and I have so many questions about the villain's plan.

Danielle is such a strong person. She also has enough guts to shut the bigots up. She's a superhero after all. She also makes funny jokes in the most inappropriate moments. She's 15, and it's her first experience with any social unjustice. I got a couple of giggles of her being speechless and baffled "What do you mean the government don't want what's the best for the people?" My sweet summer child...

Sarah who is conserned about making enough money to make it to the end of the months and doesn't give a damn about what cops will say to her robbing drug dealers.
