Oh this sounds really interesting! And really messy--I agree with you, the Alice/Ilsa tension has more weight without Ilsa being trans too. But I have added the book to my list and look forward to reading!

I mean, it's messy and complicated - and we live in a messy and complicated world.
Whoa. Thats a lot of subplot. I was super intrigued by house decrying its own chicken or egg fascism (dope metaphor really), but I’m not sure I can stomach terfism. I can appreciate someone trying to untangle the mindfuckery that has to happen to become a terf but it feels like wishful thinking to just say ‘nope they’re likely just trans masc’.
Damnit. Now imma hafta read it.
