A Trans Man Walks into a Gay Bar
by Harry Nicholas
About 40% of this is good and specific and personal and well written... and the other 60% is the worst most boring and self-righteous trans 101, complete with footnotes linking to webpages. (I would have to check if Nicholas ever cited a book---I don't think so, though.) I can imagine exactly how and why this happened: needs a wider audience than just trans people, maybe needs a bit more length, etc. etc. The filler was so painful to read that I had to skim, but every time I was ready to give up there'd be another bit that actually was original and interesting. So, uh, IDK, take from that what you will. The 40% is very good, I just wish this was a zine or a pamphlet or something.
(Disclaimer: I don't know if I'm getting those percentages right, but that is how it felt to read.)
