    Nevada helped me come to terms with the fact that I’d been repressing some of these feelings. It also really helped with internalizing that there’s no one singular “right” way to transition.

    And also Whipping Girl, to echo what Ada said in this thread: It helped push me towards my path of transfeminism.

    To a lesser extent (because I stopped reading early in the book due to ADHD tendencies) Otros Valles by Jamie Berrout. Reading a story (again, even what little of it i did read) by another trans Latina helped me build a bit more confidence in myself.

    Btw dear reader, both Nevada and Whipping Girl are freely available for reading online! I always highly recommend both of these books, especially to other transfems or people just interested in being better allies to their transfem loved ones!!!

      I double the Nevada rec! Plus, I just found out yesterday that Jane Schoenbrun is making a movie adaptation!
