desperately trying to catch up on my reading goal after a three month long slump AHHHH

back after my months long reading hiatus !!!

so so so oddly transphobic for what is supposedly revolutionary to trans writing.... not a fan of the constant trans masc slander omg. which is sad because this could be such a beautiful story but instead i feel incredibly hurt and ashamed to exist actually !! #ally #progressive #pridemonthamiright

i have no idea if i'm going to finish this book already. i'm about 15% of the way in and way trans men are spoken about??? this is notttt "the book that launched the trans writing scene" i fear... feeling very Unsupported by this actually.

"I have learned a few truths.
First: the world is hypocritical,
yet is full of hidden gems;
good people willing to speak out.
Second: actual death is when you don't
stand up for what is right.
And third: no matter what,
Palestine will always be my home."

"Embrace diversity. Unit or be divided, robbed, killed, by those who see you as prey. Embrace diversity or be destroyed." (going feral over this book)

"That's all abnybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don't know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won't matter if we don't survive these times."
