As my friend who gave me the book (because he couldn't stand to have it in his possession anymore) said, I was thinking that the cover and the manliest hetero man bullshit would be ironic, except it wasn't. This person gives transguys a bad name. Beyond that, the writing was completely disjointed and not cohesive and just came across as lazy. And who knew so much transphobia could come from a transperson? Sigh. Solid. I cracked up at some points and read the whole thing in less than twelve hours (more because I was in that kind of mood and it's an easy read---lots of little short essays), so. There wasn't anything really new here for me, but it's probably a lot more original and interesting for most everyone else. I did like the writing, though.I probably should have deducted points for use of "cunt," "twat," and "bitch" as insults. Not cute, dude.
What do You think about Real Man Adventures (2012)?
I wanted to love this book, to read more celebration of transition...less self deprecation.
