I'm Afraid of Men by Vivek Shraya
5.0

"Why is my humanity only seen or cared about when I share the ways in which I have been victimized and violated?"

Vivek Shraya, I'm Afraid of Men

A brief but powerful exploration of the masculinity forced on a trans musician as a child and how it continues to haunt her as an adult.
I found the call out to complicit women especially poignant.
Trans rights are human rights.
