Customer Reviews

Favorite book from a trans narrative

Cris Beam did an extremly good job with this book, it is a very good look through the Latino transmasculine lens. Though Beam is is cisgender I can tell they did their research. I 100% recommend this book if you are Latino and trans or if you want to see life through that lesnse. As a latino trans man I was able to relate to many concepts and moments that J went through, this is the first book I've ever read where my perspective was visible on paper and that was very powerful and a very beautiful moment. Thank you Cris Beam for writing thisincredible piece of work!
