I bought this one last year, knowing Page really only for his roles in Juno and Hard Candy, two of my favorite films, but wanting to get a better look into the struggles of the trans community. I’ve read many an LGBTQ book, even ones regarding asexuality/aromanticism, yet transexuality hadn’t really come into play in my reading yet, so it seemed high time. However, the book sat on my shelf for a little while, forgotten about. Primarily, it was due to me not reading much in the […]
