Stone butch blues

I don't have much to say. It's a very solid novel, good reading experience. Some passages that describe trauma I found especially well written. For a book with this much SA it doesn't feel exploitative at all. Most importantly, for all the horrible things that happen in it, this book keeps a very hopeful message of solidarity throughout and ends on an optimistic note. It's an uncomplicated story (although the protagonist's social positioning is itself pretty complicated, an experience many queer people will recognize) that I found relatable, cathartic and uplifting. Highly recommend if you're trans and a commie.
