It was good learning about the experience that i am not as familiar with. I did read through some reviews and there are some people including some trans people with the way that it is written. Some people believed some information was explained better in other books.

The story is about em growing up but the story is more adult. There are lots topics of sex and some topics that are TMI. I’m sure there are a lot of school libraries banning this book for being queer but for the schools that are fine with queer topics the sexual topics kinda makes it so that it is not appropriate for children. I am only saying this because in the beginning the author talks about how this book gets ban in school libraries. Some schools are going to ban it because it is not school appropriate.

Some topics related to sex is good because it is already taboo subject and going through puberty is a difficult time for kids. Other topics are too much information.

There are some information i did learn about and some i wish e could have explained more. This includes e/em pronounds and how to use them and why e didn’t feel like a boy when e fantasize the whole story of having a *****.

Em didn’t use Autoandrophilia correctly and never went back and said they misunderstood it. Even if it was used correctly it does not give the person that is trying to understand people who are nonbinary. For people that don’t know Autoandrophilia is a person assigned female at birth who is sexually aroused at the thought of becoming male. So you are pretty much telling the person that being trans is a kink not that you were given the wrong sex at birth.

The people that label this as **** are wrong. They don’t show that many nude scenes. Some are just of buts. When characters are naked it is not sexualized.
