Acqua's Reviews > I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World

This isn't really a review, because I don't know how to review nonfiction made up of essays* and poetry, but this was definitely a worthwhile read. It's an attempt to reframe how we think about justice and the meaning itself of healing in marginalized communities - where so many of us are traumatized, and it talks both about the concept of safety in the context of trauma and about the commodification of trauma in the Discourse™.

As there is a lot in here about how queer communities fail their members that uncannily (or maybe not, all things considered) mirrors queer book twitter's most dysfunctional behavior patterns, I think many of my friends and followers could get something out of it as well.

* I think? I don't really even know the right name for them in English.
