A Year Without a Name: A Memoir by Cyrus Grace Dunham

2.25

I suppose it's a mark of progress in some direction that there are now extremely mediocre trans memoirs written and published. This feels like a book that got published almost solely because the author has a famous sister and some connections - it begins to explore some interesting ideas, but falls prey to the all-too-common trap of writing about your own transition while extremely early in transitioning, and as if no one else has ever thought or experienced the things you're thinking and experiencing. There are other books doing the same work and doing it better.
