An incredible essay collection. This is a must-read.
Graphic: Ableism, Acephobia/Arophobia, Body shaming, Bullying, Chronic illness, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia, Forced institutionalization, Medical trauma, Mental illness, Misogyny, Police brutality, Racism, Rape, Self harm, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual violence, Suicidal thoughts, and Transphobia
Moderate: Abortion, Miscarriage, and Sexual content
I really appreciated that nearly every essay in this collection begins with content warnings, so the reader knows what they’re about to read.
