This book is heartbreakingly affirming. What makes it a hugely painful read is that, although published in 1994 and written from the perspective of a butch gender non-conforming person in the 1960-70s, so much of what she talks about and experiences are still common for trans/gnc folk now.

"I bought Theresa daffodils. When I handed them to her, her eyes filled with tears. I had a feeling nobody had treated her like someone special before. I silently vowed to always make her feel that way." - What a painfully tender novel, so unapologetically queer, loving and raw.
