A friend referred to this as the ur-text for the current slate of trans horror fiction, and it's easy to see why. I wish this was a bit longer, but for a polemic novella, this hits very hard. Torrey Peters went on to write with far more maturity and humane-ness in Detransition Baby, but I would definitely recommend this if you're into her work, or the work of Gretchen Felker-Martin and Alison Rumfitt.
