Hm, I cannot read this at work lmaooooo.

If you are cis you should not be using trans slurs this liberally... or at all.

This is a dumpster fire, I'm begging cis people to stay in their lane.

Returning from Cartoon Crossroads Columbus... the number of books I have now is beyond words. I got so many of my comics signed, and a stack of awesome work from trans artists to enjoy! It was such a lovely and inspiring experience talking to other trans creatives.

Ok I ended on an awkward number so I'm going to work up to a nice 75 children's picture books for my project... help me, and absolutely stop me if I keep trying to find more.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm just fatigued reading the last book of my kids book project or I just really didn't care for it and how reasonably low can I rate it as a result haha.

Shoutout to the ~lovely human~ on "Transgender Trend" who made a huge list of trans and gender nonconforming kids books for me to add on here to review. Your list was helpful haha.

Got a bunch of holds coming in! I'm trying to reach 50 trans picture books read and reviewed and I'm getting close! I'm likely going to compile it all into a video in the future hopefully!

Welcome to what I'm having for dinner, what expensive wine I'm drinking, how much it sucks making a comic, and how I can't stand those darn kids and their cellular phones.

This is probably going to be a 2-3 star book in the end.

I'm really hoping this picks up somewhere because it's just really not doing much of anything.

Nothing has really cohesively happened so far...

Ok, I'm finally coming back to this because my ebook hold is ready lol. After leaving scathing reviews on other graphic memoirs I promise I'll try my best to be nice.

I'm not a fan of this.

Ok this is like... severely graphic, how is this not 18+ lmao.

This... is very graphic, which I was not expecting for a 16+ book or from the description.

The fact Jack is anti-vax is so funny to me for no reason.

Nice, a bunch of war history with little link to the titular character so far... this book is dragging on.

Ngl this Jack Bee Garland character is rather entitled and grating away at me with how he acts.

LOUIS, "Typical of the gender dysphoric female, Bean did not consider herself a woman, and even subscribed to sexist male attitudes." THIS IS SO HILARIOUS IN HORRIBLE WAYS. Incredible that misogynistic trans men have historic rep lmaooo.

The amount of derogatory language and slurs within this book... is not good...

Not going to lie, it's incredibly difficult to keep up with what's happening and what the chronology is. The font changes and jumps between quotes or Lou's commentary is not clear enough.

"Then she earns the money herself - earns it by being such a freak that newspapers pay her for telling them about it." Lou quoted this from a paper in regards to Jack.

This is fun in a way to read
