It’s bizarre how the 13 year old girl in the previous book in this series was portrayed as a conniving, evil liar for prosecuting an alleged sexual predator but in this book a seventeen year old boy who was assaulted by a woman is shown as innocent. Honestly I don’t get it. The overwhelming majority of sexual assault is committed by men because sexual dimorphism is a reality.

spare me the sob story about registered sx offenders and their “second chances.” No one believes the children but everyone bends over backwards for felons.

It’s fashionable to push for the expansion of xy persons’ rights, but I found it difficult to suspend my disbelief while the author ignored basic facts about the human condition. FtM trans can only have an insertable organ if they use a hand pump to inflate it. So the scenario in the freezer really wouldn’t have been possible unless the character brought the pump along with all the guns etc. That means that the character already had a male organ growing up… which makes it hard to sympathize with the “woe is me” locker room situation.

As a teen the trans child was supposed to have been bullied by the girls for having “balls” but no one in a any girls’ or women’s locker rooms ever runs around ala Lia Thomas with their swimsuit areas exposed. Each stall is separate and teen girls are notoriously embarrassed of their bodies. Teen boys on the other hand are delighted to ridicule every trauma induced queef and suspected hormonal tension that a girl or woman has. It’s really hard to imagine an MtF person in a gym setting being the victim, when in real life folks like Anne Andres aren’t getting made fun of, they’re the ones peacocking in a typical xy fashion calling women’s bench press “pathetic.” If the lead villain had at least one male gonad they would not menstruate and therefore would not go through the customary and torturous menstrual shaming that all teen girls have to endure. That alone would be a massive leg up in their self image and self esteem. A girl with a male gonad would totally dominate and humiliate any xx opponent.

Football players are notorious for committing assault and getting away with it. I wonder why the violins come out only for xy persons.

The performance was distracting because there were two readers, one for the xy characters and one for the xx characters. I’ve never listened to a novel like that and it was just awful. Also after the lead villain was confirmed as a post op male, why did the pronouns fail to change and the voice actor remain xx?

This book is about as interesting as a telephone book. Every minute detail about the main character’s kidney stone is examined with painful detail. Also as one very familiar with academia, the budsy-wudsy friendships between professors are ridiculously unrealistic. The author obviously feels martyred by efforts at inclusion while evidently being oblivious at how desperately such efforts are needed in academia.

So there I was with my laser gun and exosuit on and I got kicked out comicon because I was clearly over 40 and female… not allowed in this fantasy. He even threw in a wife upgrade at the end making the age gap even bigger. Yeesh. Maybe I should go back to grilling nba players and lay off the adolescent women hating sci-fi until I get as thick skinned as a rhino and can hang with the nerds.

Sometimes the words he writes are just what I need to hear. I’ll carry this story with me like a gift. Cried at the end.

I know lots of folks are attached to the busty temptress motif but come on. Young people who get molested by people in power almost never get justice. Saying she had “the worn out face of a 30-year old” was hard to read. Also the lurid murder of the dog was horrific and didn’t add anything to the story. Hated this book.

Mills is getting better about minimizing his obsession with age, but he really messed up in this book. Rapp is portrayed as a total weakling who was deeply distressed by an amorous disabled woman. Pathetic. On the positive side- if males are this frail I’m now in favor of having separate gyms for them.
