Simplified but a good primer for people who don't have background on Stonewall and want to learn!

I needed this book, especially the parts at the end about professionalism, tokenism, and anger.

Although some parts made me uncomfortable (the author uses the girls' birth names too much for my liking, although only when describing their past) this book was overall amazing and extremely informative.
Obviously, this book is not a comprehensive picture of trans* people's experiences, but that's part of why I loved it. Instead of trying to make generalizations, it focused on four women that the author knows very personally.
I fell in love with all of them and I think that the author did an excellent job of shifting the focus from herself onto the girls that the book is really about.

Super interesting and made me think a lot about how gender functions in my own life and community. I'd love to see an updated collection of essays, it's remarkable how much language especially has changed since this was published!

4.5 stars - maybe it’s because I was listening to the audiobook but I kept getting confused about the logistics of the plot/where they were at any point in time, and characters especially Rishi kept like disappearing, and then showing up again at the end of conflict
