It's total fiction. All of it.

Read the book description, and realize this is being promoted as an aspirational character story for teens. "Falling in love for the first time", etc. I'm not expecting a very deep character here. It's all made up crap! (And why would someone think it's acceptable to transition before falling in love for the first time!?)

This is infuriating.

It's disturbing that teenagers are being encouraged to make irreversible medical choices before they've even explored their own sexuality. They've never had a relationship. They've never lived on their own. They're not old enough to vote or even drive in many cases. Yet certain activists have decided they're old enough to decide to sterilize themselves and cut their breasts off.

Also interesting that Felix is described as "queer." I wonder what that means. Is the character dating a natal boy? Or a natal girl? According to a review, this book also contains a "demiboy."
