I know I can't do this book justice in my review but I will try for Amanda's reviewing sake. What an INCREDIBLY powerful memoir, truly highlighting the struggles that AFAB people (Assigned Female At Birth for those who don't know) face in the medical world on a daily basis. The horrifying struggle that it was for her to get a diagnosis, let alone treatment, is something no one should have to face, yet I know that millions of AFAB people do, and I know that with this government the U.S. has right now it's only going to get worse. Truly impactful, insightful, and brave of Amanda to put her story out like this in plain English. Not only did she continue to advocate and fight for herself, but she succeeded in getting treatment. Not a cure mind you, but a treatment that helped mitigate some of the pain. I'm truly inspired by Amanda and how powerful she is for sticking up for herself, even in a system that wants people like her to be quiet and suffer in silence. I cannot say enough praise about this book, and I think this, and books like this, should be a requirement for everyone born without a uterus to read. Thank you Amanda for sharing your story!!! 💖
