![]() ![]() (I can't remember any specifics because I have lent the book to a friend, but I remember this.) And Leo also says some transphobic things to David, which was odd, as he's trans too?Īlso, David uses he/him pronouns throughout the whole book which I guess goes with the whole 'wants to be a girl' thing. Understandably, David has some internalized transphobia and says some pretty transphobic things to Leo. And that 'wanting' to be a girl shtick continues through the whole story. We actually are that gender, but have been seen as our birth gender. ![]() In the blurb: "Two boys." and "David wants to be a girl."īeing trans isn't about wanting to be another gender. The book isn't written by a trans person, and that was my first clue. ![]() ![]() I know that trans people have different experiences and points of view on their gender, but so many things about this book seemed off to me. However, once I started reading I was honestly very disappointed. It had a cool cover and a premise I was personally interested in. I'm a trans person and when I saw this book I was super excited. ![]()
