The New David Espinoza by Fred Aceves

4.0

I really enjoyed reading this book! This is the first book I've ever read that discusses male body dysmorphia, and it made me feel very seen. I also enjoyed it specifically reading as a trans man, because I found out that a lot of the feelings David felt were similar to the gender dysphoria I've felt in my life, especially when he talked about times he worried about seeming feminine. It helped me realize that cis men and trans men actually worry about a lot of the same things in terms of body image issues. I really recommend this book to any men experiencing dysphoria with their bodies, it really feels nice to read about someone going through the same thing.
