I read this book because someone on Tumblr was connecting this book to being against policing clothes at pride. Personally, this book was more of a biography than I was expecting & it focused too much on the assimilationist politics.
The way this book needs to be read therefore is you go thru the book and highlight/copy down parts said during speeches in order to use this book as a way to get theory about rhetoric used in arguments etc. Unfortunately for me I used an audiobook & I only gathered that strategy idea beyond the 70% mark. It's 15h 34m. Even at triple speed which is *way* longer than I can type at with my current technology setup, it'd still be 5h 11m.
Like i recognized myself in the complaint process, but like I also associate the complaint process with "graveyard" by halsey so, yeah... The book is like the vibes of following that tribute dude who killed the hybrid-species dude in the labyrinth. Point being, using this book for rhetoric analysis will probably help with forming your own complaints too etc, and know which arguments you can reason have already been made.
