I’m reading “How To Sell A Haunted House” by Grady Hendrix. I read his brilliant horror novel “The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires” a few years back so thought this one was worth a go. Less impeccably skin crawling so far but it has time.
Great piece, enjoyed that. I can totally see the fit of gender transition into the rebirth narrative and would agree that those who buy into it often see it as that, a way to become someone new, divorced from previous trauma or experience. The problem is that there is no transition, there is only the process, which never ends. I believe that coming to this realisation is and will be the cause of many detransitions.

Have started the new Puritans, now spurred on to get back to it quick!
Quite a rec, thanks!
