"I want to show you how much pain you could have spared yourself...how your life would have been different, if you hadn't looked at yourself through others' eyes..."
* addresses a lot important topics head-on and without shame - and with drawings to boot!
* sometimes felt a bit performative, as if instead of being honestly vulnerable it tried too hard to be humorously vulnerable
* not a fan of the rude reference to Star Trek OS. it felt like a cheap shot at trying to prove a point, when it was really quite revolutionary for its time

Something about the tone of this book didn't work for me. I found her sense of humour grating, though I did enjoy the chapter on body hair.
Moderate: Body shaming, Misogyny, Sexual content, Blood, Medical content, Pregnancy, and Injury/Injury detail
Minor: Death, Suicide, and Car accident

Olipas tämä hankala tapaus. Välillä tykkäsin, välillä en. Paljon oli tuttua, "Sinkkuelämää" alku oli puuduttava ja vaikka edelleen pidän Pottereiden maailmasta, en olisi halunnut tällaisessa feministisessä sarjiksessa nähdä viittauksia transfobisen kirjailijan teoksiin. Tosin vulvan kutsuminen "siksi-jota-ei-pidä-nimetä" oli hauskaa, onhan tuota kyseistä elintä vältetty puheissa vähintään Voldemortin tasoisesti tai sitten vaihtoehtoisesti se kelpaa vain kirosanaksi. Onneksi mukana on muotakin nörttiviittauksia mm. Sailor Mooniin ja Star Trekiin. Parasta antia olivat kirjailijan omaelämäkerralliset tarinat.
