I wish I had gone in without bias, but I read Adichie's remarks about trans women and can't seem to get them out of my head. At one point, the protagonist observes that a rich white man does not regard her as a woman because she is black and African. Because of the obvious parallel, I could not help but wonder if Adichie knew exactly what she was doing when she said trans women are trans women (not women).
