So so much to partially identify with - just more proof that everyone's experience of failing gender is different.
I think Rae's journey resonates more with me personally, especially the retiring from gender and gender as narrative portions.
Ivan's journey to get and recover from top surgery told throughout is beautiful and emotional and funny, it feels like the backbone of the book. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality But if medical discussion of surgery/description of surgery recovery makes you queasy like yours truly, be aware it's included.

Also warning for eating disorder/disordered eating.

Ivan's Facilites and Danger chapters are particularly impactful, as much for the writing as the subject matter. I feel like highlighting every page.I am so grateful for how vulnerable these two NB people chose to be in sharing their experiences.

The whimsy! It's the moose (more Canadian than cows, I suppose) being beamed up that got me.

Went to Seattle this weekend to visit a very close friend who moved there from AZ last year. Seattle is far, far too cold for me but the literary community is amazing! We always go to Elliot Bay and Left Bank books. Here is my haul from the weekend. Running Secrets takes place on Alki Beach where my friend lives! And I bought Nevada from the bookseller who's 'staff pick' it was. Very successful book purchases in my mind.

Yournewfriendsams Left Bank is the coolest 🙌🏽 7y

Alicia @Yournewfriendsams right?! I love it so much! I always find something amazing there. 7y
