CW/RTC~
one thing I want to note right away: Elliot, in the foreword, mentions how not every trans experience is THE trans experience. that plenty of people's gender & sexual identies are NOT intertwined. but that HIS identities & gender/sexual discoveries of himself ultimately are. so he speaks a LOT on his experience living most of his life as a lesbian. that doesn't make this book any less trans. thank you.
