You Weren't Meant to Be Human
by Andrew Joseph White
have yet to read this book (so excited) but i am adding the content warnings from the author website
Content Warnings
Graphic: Ableism, Child death, Domestic abuse, Rape, Self harm, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Transphobia, Violence, Cannibalism, Abortion, Pregnancy
YOU WEREN'T MEANT TO BE HUMAN is about reproductive abuse, pregnancy as violence, self-destruction, loss of agency, and every nasty feeling I as the author have ever carried with me as an autistic trans man, especially since the fall of Roe v. Wade in 2022. Content warnings include:
Infanticide involving cannibalism
Graphic depictions of pregnancy and childbirth as violence and body horror; on-page early stillbirth with subsequent desecration of corpse; on-page botched DIY abortion
Narrative focus on suicidality and planning suicide, with no attempt made; similar focus on self-harm, shown on-page
Consistently unclear sexual boundaries and consent, up to and including rape, often involving confusion on behalf of the survivor
Sexual fantasies/intrusive thoughts involving abuse and bestiality
Domestic abuse
Graphic violence
Weird bug shit, needles, general transphobia and ableism, etc.
