A surprisingly honest and touching account of a trans girl surviving through sex work in Seattle. With excerpts published in the Eisner-nominated anthology ISLAND, the full-color volume, drawn and painted by REMY BOYDELL, is an unflinching debut graphic novel. Written by MICHELLE PEREZ.

#TransRightsReadathon Book 5 The writing style wasn‘t my favorite, but the art was great! There were a handful of full page black and white panels scattered throughout that were sublime, and it was worth reading this just for those. And I loved seeing an honest representation of sex work. That‘s a community that‘s grossly underrepresented in media, and usually either romanticized or demonized when it is portrayed. #transrightsarehumanrights

Raw, melancholy and explicit interconnected stories about a lonely trans woman in Seattle who does sex work to pay off her student loans, but she presents as a man for this work in order to feel safer. Watercolour artwork by Remy Boydell uses anthropomorphic figures reminiscent of classic cartoons (such as Clifford the Big Red Dog). It‘s amazing how human these characters are, despite their cat and dog faces. It‘s powerful, too. #ownvoices #LGBTQ

Him: I ain‘t never heard of none of that, what‘s it like?
Her: It sounds like shitty drunks yelling and playing guitar bad.
Him: Aha. Oh man I gotta see this.
