*Note: This review was completed in early 2019 as the author’s views towards our trans siblings began to be more widely known. At the time I chose to read this book and review it. My reading experience was what it was and these reviews will remain up, but it should be noted that I find her TERF values abhorrent, which have only become more clear over time, and her doubling down in Summer 2020 has made the decision to walk away from her as a […]

See below.) Spoilery discussion of several […]
