I absolutely loved this collection. Assigned Male at birth was educational, called out transphobic  behaviour and holds society accountable. I really like that the collection addresses so real struggles trans and gender Non-conforming people face. I loved the authentic queerness as a fellow rainbow member myself. “ I’ve gone three days without speaking to a straight person.”
Other highlights was the gender helpline- it was  such an affirming comic. I read this as part of the transrights readathon 2024 and I’m so glad I did. This book is a safe space for young people and some older ones.
