why is stone butch blues so expensive

But really the story ends well and I think that's really the part that stays with you. If you are looking for a book to read so that you understand the experience of an LGBTQ person, this is (the) one to read. Everyone has a different criteria. I almost feel as if it is cliche to say this book is AMAZING since so many people feel the same way.

Everyone framed it as "a lesbian novel" or meant for trans men. I wish I had read it long ago.I’m comforted by how lonely every person’s day to day life can be, and the phases of success and depression that the main character goes through. I feel like if everyone were to read this book, so many things could be different in our world that is far to run by the gendered binaries and heteronormativity that exist within our society.

This book was kind of formative for me, it made a big impact on me as a teenager and again, half my life later. It also reminds me of what I got from the book ‘Native Son’ by Richard Wright…..which was how devastating it is to be a young person, figuring out who you are and where you fit in (which requires a lot of identification with persons other than your family of origin), when a huge portion of what society reflects back to you about yourself is ignorant and cruel. a work of activism more than a work of art.
