A review by claires_loveofbooks2020
Welcome to Dorley Hall by Alyson Greaves

medium-paced

2.5

I'm giving this book a 2.5 star. 

I'm very knowledgeable about transwomen due to being related to someone who is.

The plot of this book is completely wrong, in my opinion. It gives the wrong impression that forcing cis men into becoming women is an okay thing to do when it's not! Their reasoning behind giving them an orchiectomy for such things like rape and hitting wives/gfs is not an okay reason. Jail, yes, or some kind of rehabilitation centre for xyz, yes but castration? NO.

I get that it is a unique story, and I'm not going to lie, I was intrigued enough to read the entire book but I just found it hard to read when I know how hard transition is for genuine trans people.
