Trans girl genre fiction! I think of all the short story collections I’ve read recently (a bunch! too many! I need to read more novels now!) I had the most differing reactions to each piece here. Loved: The Masker / Hated (but think objectively is a good and interesting story): The Chaser / Mixed feelings on: Stag Dance (now desperate for more trans & queer historical fiction like this), Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones (my god such an identifiably 2015 trans intracommunity story!!)

Very different from Detransition, Baby in many ways but obv some overlapping thoughts and themes… characters all complicated compromised interesting people I wanted to keep following… whether out of fondness for them or fascination with their weird little psyches… Torrey Peters is very smart and I hope she writes lots more books so I can read them!!!
