But Wait, There's More!

THE MATRIX (1999) dir. The Wachowski Sisters

The way this book handles gender is very interesting. The main character, Leslie, is a trans man but since this takes place in 1929, the language hasn't evolved to what it is today so he calls himself an invert, a woman turned man. One of the people he meets in this small town is another trans man, Stevie. However, Stevie sees himself as more of a man who's just in a different body, instead of as having ever been a woman. They're both the same from an outside view but feel very differently and probably have a different view of their own bodies and identities, which might have been influenced by their pasts and experiences, since one is older and from the city while the other is barely eighteen and has only ever lived in his small, extremely religious town. I think it gives a unique perspective to the different aspects and experiences of the trans community that might not be talked about as much. I highly recommend this book.

Then the mc and his lover burned the towns only cash crop, stole a horse and ran away. And neither of them felt bad about it. MORE STORIES LIKE THIS
