This book was great!!
While I don't agree with a few of McBride's current politics, this was a very impactful read for me during this time. As a trans person, it gave me a lot of hope to see a success story, in a way.
I do think this book shows a very idealized way of looking at the government and politics, but it's also 6 years old, and a lot of current culture has changed— including the approach to politics and protest— with Gen Z entering these spaces. Our [Gen Z] mentality towards politics is also vastly different from that of some older generations, whom of which got to exist in an arguably more stable world.
Overall, it reminded me that continuing to live as a trans person is an act of protest in and of itself.
