This is a brutally honest reflection on life. This is not a memoir, so if you’re looking for a life story, this probably isn’t it. This is anecdotes about different facets of transition in life.

This book discusses really hard topics relating to growing up a black trans kid in the 80s. It discusses discrimination still today and how performative activism isn’t enough.

I thought this was an interesting book. It is a great perspective on life, and gives unique insights on living. However, I felt the writing wasn’t well done in parts, and couldn’t get past some of the issues with the writing itself.
