I'm deeply impressed and also a little sad about how relevant this book is that even nearly thirty years after its publication and fifty years after its setting. There's so much more space for people like me to exist than there has been, space this book helped create and which I am endlessly grateful for, and yet the core struggles around gender and identity are strikingly similar, even as someone who's going in a different direction. Really incredible work.
