Status Updates From If I Was Your Girl

I’m making the 🥹 face and the 🥲 face. There’s no in between.

Alright another banned book class book

man I’m crying here

The afterword was good. I understood that almost exactly from the beginning, but I like that she was explicit about it. The author wanted her to be as "girl" as possible—as normatively trans as possible.

That way, the bulk of the story doesn't have to be about being trans, but one specific trans girl's excitement at a fresh start at a new school, and the joy she experiences after finally feeling normal. That's great

jfc, escalated like a mf. I mean, I guess I was kinda waiting for the hat to drop the whole book, but I thought it was gonna be more lighthearted and shit. damn.
