She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy
by Joey Soloway
This was an interesting one for me. Out of my comfort zone for sure (which I welcome gladly!) and challenging to get through, as it required a lot of shifting in my established thinking around gender, sexuality, relationships, self-discovery, and family. I’m actually unfamiliar with the author in terms of the shows/movies she’s made, and I think that would have been helpful in going into this one. I still learned a lot and gained empathy and a deeper understanding of what it’s like to come out as trans or queer and how it affects every aspect of life, work, love, etc. There’s so much I still don’t understand or feel totally comfortable with quite yet (and that’s okay!) but I’m thankful for brave writers who share their stories and by doing so help the rest of us learn and grow and evolve, too. Lots to think about after this one!
