As expected from the amazingly talented Monroe Bergdorf, this book is written and structured brilliantly. I read it in a day but spent time allowing the emotive and thought-provoking moments to resonate with me. It’s so valuable to have the unfiltered voice of a trans person - especially a Black woman - available for people to hear, especially at the moment. Monroe describes in the book a friendship with another trans person who guided her at the start of her transition, and this book felt like Monroe doing this for me.
