life has been crazy rn and this was the perfect book to read as i’m dealing with it. 

trans girl suicide museum by hannah baer is an unapologetic whirlwind of opinions, ideologies, and reflections that leaves the world in kaleidoscopic pieces. through the power of friendship and ketamine, baer contextualizes herself and her transness in a society and culture that constantly works against trans people. she does so unconventionally and conversationally, and the book feels like baer is a dear friend confiding in you about her life experiences. and while that can often feel like a caress, sometimes it feels like a splash of cold water.
