I finished this book a while ago and it really blew my mind. I'm a trans woman and it completely changed my understanding of my own gender and my understanding of gender as a concept. It's given my a new understanding of the ways I may have been perpetuating harm and ways to change for the better. It was just a life changing read for myself and my cis wife as well.
My question is why don't I see this opinion more frequently in the world? I've almost never heard someone use the term effemamania even though it feels so accurate to what's going on so often. I googled it and I don't see much real critique of it other than a single reddit post. Is there some big problem with the book that makes it not actually a good book that I'm missing? Or is it just more or less ignored for some reason?
Also if anyone else has read it I'd love to hear your thoughts too. Sorry if this is the wrong comm.
I need to get back to working on the book, only ever finished the first few chapters. Just what I've read though has been so incredibly useful, I wish more people would read the damn thing but they won't because people don't care about trans women.
I'm really worried all my questions end up being answered by your last line there. I'm hoping that I'm missing something though.
