Part 3: It uses harmful language like, oh you aren't a real girl if you don't. And the book also explicitly shows SA which is wild for a book targeted toward the 10-12 age group. I get that the initial goal was to spread LGBTQIA+ positive media to kids, but this isn't the book for it.

Part 2: It's used in a derogatory way by straight characters. I'm a big advocate of, if it doesn't apply to you, don't say it. and even if you are straight or cis, you shouldn't say it if it doesn't apply to you. And the straight characters just fling it around like candy which is frankly disgusting. Also, as much as the author tries to give this a trans positive message, it comes off incredibly harmful.

Part 1: I'm only on page 47 but so far, it's...... problematic. I mean the art style is gorgeous don't get me wrong. And I don't feel like this was the intention, but it feels like a homophobic and transphobic person wrote this. I haven't researched into the author yet, so I don't know their qualifications to say these things, but the d slur is used an unhealthy number of times. And not in the reclaiming way.
