Stone Butch Blues by Leslie Feinberg
this book made me cry so much!
From the cover:
Woman or man? That’s the question that rages like a storm around Jess Goldberg, clouding her life and her identity.Growing up differently gendered in a blue-collar town in the 1950s. Coming out as a butch in the bars and factories of the prefeminist ’60s. Deciding to pass as a man in order to survive when she is left without work or a community in the early ’70s.
This powerful, provocative, and deeply moving novel sees Jess coming full circle, learning to accept the complexities of being a transgendered person in a world demanding simple explanations: a he-she emerging whole, weathering the turbulence.

I’m telling you, I have issues. I’ve looked through 119 pages of photos tagged “bed.”
I think unmade beds looks so comfy!
