I loved this. I went in with very little plot information-- I knew it was about three women, some of them trans, trying to decide if they wanted to have a baby together-- and that was it. I think that was the perfect amount to catch my interested, but to not influence what I thought I'd find in the story. It's funny, smart, and deeply rooted in trans culture. It both casually and intentionally explores how gendered sexual desires, gender identity, and trauma mingle to impact how people make big life decisions, how they can or cannot bare to be perceived by the world. Definitely recommend!
