This book is incredible. It's asks us to reconsider consent, sex, intimacy while centering asexual people and letting them know they're not broken, it's ok to not experience sexual desire regardless of the reason or experiences that intertwine with these feelings

I gagged reading this book and just thinking about it, I threw up. I'm not exaggerating. That's just not what I look for in a book

It's a very easy to understand guide to gender. It's great! But I already knew all/most of it and so it felt repetitive to me

I'm finding it hard to put into words why this book is so incredible. It's raw, emotional and honest about the experiences she had as a trans women of colour, critiqued leftist spaces from a leftist lens which needed to be done and is incredibly important.
This book does so much yet is so short. I read another book by this authour and if there's more I'll be planning to read those too, the authour is incredible, the essays and poetry are powerful and I highly recommend this book
