My latest look at #Trans experience had to be '#Pageboy'. As #ElliotPage is a prominent figure in our community. Yet, his story offers so much more and covers a wealth of experiences. Follow the link to read my review. #bookreview #LGBTQIA #LGBTIQ

I finished Pageboy!
I loved Page's often blunt word choice, and also enjoyed how he jumped through time (though I did get a bit lost at times). But this book was a hard one to read.
There just wasn't much light. Even the more positive relationships described tended to be wrapped up in bad times. So, while I admire Page and do recommend this book, I'd advise you to approach it with caution if you're queer and in a bumpy place.

I'm now reading Pageboy, by Elliot Page. It's interesting to read about his experiences of growing up in Nova Scotia, as I usually only hear about that area through the Scottish Gaelic community.
A bheil fios agaibh gur ann à Alba Nuadh a tha Elliot Page? Tha mi a' leughadh an leabhar aige (Pageboy) agus tha e inntinneach a bhith a' leughadh mun sgìre sin taobh a-muigh saoghal na Gàidhlig.

With all love, Elliot Page is SUCH a fucking Pisces
The last week of #PrideMonth wasn't a happy one for me. After some asshole ruined what we set up to celebrate. It was made worse when we learned it was within his rights to express himself, despite the campus having a hate speech rule.
Finally healing from that, someone I know (who I thought respected me) started misgendering & dead-naming #ElliotPage after seeing that I was reading his memoir, #Pageboy.
What follows is a journal entry:
There are so many quote-worthy lines in #Pageboy, but this one especially resonates with me:
“A year and a half later and the pronouns are still just too much for some.”
