Detransition, Baby

“Gender isn't a game of hopscotch, it's a fucking house of mirrors”. This book wasn't quite what I thought it was going to be, but I enjoyed it. It covers many themes, including gender dysphoria, gender norms and societal pressure, the limitations of language in describing gender and identity, the complexity and evolution of human relationships, and more. The book does an excellent job of exploring and contrasting these themes between cis and trans individuals while telling its story and ultimately notes that regardless of how you identify and no matter what societal box you may be forced into, you can feel, or be made to feel, like an outsider (while also noting the obvious disadvantages that certain groups face).
