Status Updates From Stag Dance: A Novel & Stories

So far this collection of stories has been sooo good. "Infect your friends and loved ones" and "The Chaser" were both phenomenal. This is really making me want to read her other book Detransition, Baby.

"I was beautiful and it hurt him. I doubt he ever complimented his wife that way. His wife did not possess the kind of beauty that triggered a desire that made him disgusted with himself. My kind of beauty does not trace a path to stable relationships, a dining room set from Crate & Barrel, a Thanksgiving turkey with his folks. He had no conception of what do with my beauty other than choke on it."

Piss me off with the demonization of testosterone and the way she treated the singular trans male character in the first story. As if trans people aren’t all fighting the same war. Ts blows so far. 0 fucking stars for the first story. Hoping it gets better. If you’re going to make trans men look like ignorant assholes maybe just don’t include us in your story!
