This book was so good, but in that way that breaks your heart. I hate that Elliot had to deal with everything he has and didn’t always have people around him to make him feel safe. I’m so happy that he had the courage to write this book and that it has become so popular. It’s so important and empowering to hear queer and trans voices. This is just one trans person’s story, but hearing the joy and relief in his voice when he talked of being out and surgery gives me hope for others, that they feel safe enough to be themselves as well.
