I read this book. It was sad. There's a scene where the kid has a fight with her father because he doesn't want her to stay the night with a male friend. "I bet if I had been born with a penis, you would let me stay!" like this is a valid argument. Then the kid feels bad because her dad has spent a lot of money paying for her sex change. But then the kid wants more than anything else in the world for her dad to accept her as a boy. It was just super sad. If this is how kids really feel, it must be hellish for all involved.
