shershenk's review against another edition

I feel gratitude to have consumed this, to have allowed it to rest inside of me comfortably and uncomfortably. The things affect allows us to do astounds me every time I a confront it anew. KJ Cerankowski has given me a gift in his words and his prose, but he has also done so through his use of a theoretical framework not fully demarcated. Thank you, KJ, for this beautiful work and for the ambiguity you have in some way given me permission to hold in my arms like an embrace instead of a grappling.

This was a difficult book to read because it is always difficult to read pain. After I came out as transgender, I lamented how I had never read an account or a book by or about a trans masculine person that I felt reflected my experiences. It alienated me further than simply being trans had already done. And yet KJ Cerankowski's beautiful exposition felt so familiar and so painfully close to home. This is a narrative I can understand and relate to, mixed with beautiful exposition and also academic in nature. I loved everything about this and hope to emulate the style of work as I continue working trans theory in the medieval field.

A beautiful, powerful, gutting book about trauma and the wounds it leaves and the wounds we leave on others.
