Katie, I appreciate the clarification. As I said, I'm sure for the correct reader, the book is a fun romp. But as with my reviews of other books around women's empowerment or trans issues overall, I'm deeply sensitive to messaging. Force feminization disturbs me, full stop.
The only other thing in your works I've encountered thus far is a short story in a collection, a collection I haven't finished as yet

This is a fair review. I wrote this story as part of a community writing prompt and published around the same time as I was coming out to myself. I thought I was a CIS man when I wrote the bulk of this story and I had a lot of internalized stuff going on.
I still enjoy this story, but I would have taken more time and told it better if I were to rewrite it again today.
That said, I invite you to read my more recent work.
