This book was not quite what I expected it to be, but that was not necessarily a bad thing. There was a really heavy focus on bodies and sex. It was really interesting to get to hear different perspectives on that. That is a really important way to discuss power, particularly for trans people. I think the discussion of naming in particularly -- as it pertains to identity and bodies -- was really wonderful and necessary. However, I am not sure this was framed in the most effective way. I like the idea of including personal narrative and learning about the interviewer between interviews, however it was quite repetitive, especially in the first half. I'll be honest, I think my own discomfort and dissociation probably made me dislike this more than I would were I in a better headspace in relation to myself. Regardless, I do think that some important conversations were had in this book. I found the last few chapters particularly engaging. The last chapter really brought together the discussions in the book with recent events and discussion of empowerment. I wish that more of the book would have tapped into that broader discussion in a similar way.
