"In 1999, it was almost impossible to find any example of a trans person within any realm of popular culture"
"the symbolic meaning of a universe with two worlds-one false & constructed, the other genuine & hidden-takes on an entirely new meaning. The idea of a character choosing between swallowing a blue pill that allows him to remain a false placeholder & a red pill that forces him to confront who he truly is becomes a much different metaphor."

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Chessa I know, right! I felt the same... this book is great at shifting your perspective just a bit off center and looking at things a completely different way, it's trippy at times, but really good! 7y
