noooo hahahahaaaa don't be an incredibly thoughtful and insightful and candid and steeped in queer history and verbiage dissertation on sexual trauma noooo hahahahahaaa

68 pages and we are at the 2nd rape ... from cops onto the protag. Nevermind everyone else pigs got to. L. Feinberg left a note at the top warning about it, but in sum--good lord. Second, ACAB. Always.

God I'm too chatty. UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE THOUGHTS. Cis women and femme sometimes does not make sense to me, just because--how are you sorting that line between obligation, expectation, and earnest interest? *Trans* high femmes make all the sense in the world to me, though, much like butches do--you have to really choose that shit, and it's counter what you're supposed to be. You're discovering new gender joy.

Also the casual inclusion of drag queens and transfemmes as the beating pulse of queer life ... yesssss. <3 Transgender/gender-noncomforming intersections. You've heard of throwing presumed heterosexuality out the window, now contemplate what happens when you chuck gender out after it.

Fucking finally. I had this sense as a teen just figuring out myself and then found it not in other gays IRL but in Alison Bechdel's works--the notion that being limp-wristed ought to be a LOT more automatically disconnecting for a person from modern, capitalist, racist, classist, imperialist, etc., etc. society--and here we have it again in Leslie Feinberg. Thank GOD! Yes, solidarity! Duh! It's only natural! Hello!

Ah, dykes on bikes <3

I love foolishly thinking, "Oh, no, there's no way old gay books could possibly be relevant now or track with the gays of today, it was a different era"--and then somebody will write something that tracks right down to a thought process or emotional issue I've had and I am once again reminded that there is nothing of me new under the sun.

So ... close ... I've been taking this book in chunks for the fun of digesting but I'm ready to be done annotating and shelve this one

doth thou shit my dick

oh i am getting the most thorough all-over chills. now THIS is a tale!

the world is falling apart and people are bickering over who's conning who in terms of party costs, love it, lol

thank you lesbian superjesus, we stay winning

if i finish this book today i swear to god ... this protag needs to have more gay sex

all my love of robin mckinley and patricia mcphillip and diana wynne jones and some other author i cannot name--has culminated in this moment

i won't spoil it but alyssa you'd love this fight scene

this is not the point of this book but it reminds me that i'm a whore lol

I love you, homosexuality <3 And I love coming-of-ages where yes, they're growing into themselves, and they are what? gay

goddamn. this author's a masterclass. wow.

the protag is written to be unlikable. the author is doing a very good job. i am begging god to strike down this miserable mop of a man. please. or i'll do it myself.

OOP. THE REVEAL OF FOUR VOLUMES? goddamn. these mommy issues stay winning.

"Forgive me if I don't give a fuck."
