Lost something like half of a star for She-Man alone honestly. Even in a book of women in strange situations all a trans women can be is pimped out and then killed I suppose.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed a lot of this prose, there's potent body horror throughout. The book generally swings for the fences and sees some hits.
I'd recommend it, though probably as the reprint without She-Man in, it sort of sours the collection right at the end.
