This was another absolutely staggering account / lived experience of a Anishinaabe and Métis trans woman. I found myself having to pause every few pages because Benaway's words were so boldly honest and pulled no punches. She writes in a jarring yet subdued way, and it's so incredibly admirable! I will continue to seek out her work and highly recommend others do so too.
