Ok this was a drag to read. This book contains almost everything I just can't handle anymore about social justice from a US perspective where absolutely everything concludes to identity politics.

It mixes things in a totally weird way (not homosexuality and kinks are not on the same level), appropriates the word queer to encompass anything « that can't be defined », and offers almost nothing in the end except a vague concept of radical self love which doesn't entail to anything quite clear.

I can understand the appeal, but this whole book is nothing more than the usual speech about self love rebranded with social justice despite its claims.
