Apparently it's a bestselling hardcover book and was also picked up for a TV series.

Thanks for the info. This makes my heart hurt.

The plot --- <Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. >

THIS is the message being sent to young black girls? Cut off your breasts and jump on the trans train?

This is from Wiki: <Callender is Black, queer, trans, and uses they/them and he/him pronouns>

They AND He? And oddly has a degree in JAPANESE (for all the Yaoi reading???)

From an interview "they" gave:

<The very first inspiration was the realization that I’m a demiboy, after questioning my identity even after coming out and starting my physical transition as nonbinary. I’d never heard the term demiboy before, and I was literally so excited to find this perfect label that I wanted to write a whole book about it. >

Demiboy?????

I can't say that "society" is failing our young women because society has always been sexist, racist, whatever-ist, that has not changed. The only thing that I can see which has changed is the wholesale push for this "queer" LARPing. She probably could have just been a popular female children's author instead of diving into the Woke Niche.

I feel like I'm reading satire, when really it's some mentally ill woman's weird revenge fantasies in ultra-woke book form.
