She likes isreal and her writing was honestly boring

I am not the target audience for this book lol

Do not want to finish this book because it's not what I was looking for. It's partially my bad though, because I didn't read the summary beyond the first sentence. And while I was looking for a memoir or autobiography written by a trans author, I cannot reconcile McBride's love the DNC and belief in the American political system w/ what I believe trans liberation is/should be. 

This book did not radicalize me, or teach me anything I didn't already know from past research/time invested in learning about trans history. It is way more of a personal memoir + political stepping stone to McBride's personal political career aspirations than it is informative about her lived experience as a trans woman. 

I am sure that McBride is a great person and that eventually she talks about things that aren't her love for campaign work, but people who got into politics and like involved in campaign work super young are just not that interesting to me. Also, it's just a little bit too mainstream in her faith in the Democratic party for my tastes.

This was completely and heavily centered in US politics, just didn’t really interest me as a European.
