Susanita My office did an event about LGBT rights in the military, back when it was still okay to talk of such things. She was the main speaker and gave an interesting presentation. 2d

so-soI'm conflicted.
The writing is great. Sharp and subversive. Lots of social commentary. Centres trans experiences. Some amusing moments.
But I struggled to root for the characters because they were all so very selfish, and showed such little regard for each others' feelings and needs.
Made me miserable in the same way that All Fours and The Pisces did.

pickBeautiful, powerful story. Told with grace, clarity, and a total lack of fear or self-pity.
Goetsch does the thing nearly all writers try to do but few succeed at - she tells her own unique story in a way that makes it universal. Very brave story of a person trying to understand themselves. Especially powerful to me since her struggles came at a time when there was so little knowledge, language, and awareness around gender identity.
