This book, in my opinion, is receiving rather harsh critiques. I think the confusing timeline, though acknowledged, does impact the reader experience. That could be leading to the comments on this being “like a therapy session.”

This is a personal memoir. He’s not claiming to represent all trans people. Just because a book doesn’t read like a buzz feed article doesn’t make it pretentious. Does he have privilege? Of course, but he acknowledges this and the book is still insightful. Will update later.
