rowan27's review

I couldn't finish this book because it was extremely triggering for me. I understand why some of this content was put in the book. It's attempting to add perspective of what trans people deal with regularly and fears we have of what has happened and what could always happen.
But I already know that. I already live it. And it was extremely triggering to the point where I just couldn't finish the book
