Pageboy by Elliot Page
4.0
"As a trans person, and a public one, the sensation is that I'm always pleading for people to believe me".
Trigger warnings for this book: homophobia, sex, dysphoria, use of slurs, eating disorders, stalking, sexual harrassment, mention of drugs.
From an innocent question like "can I be a boy?" to dressing as a tomboy, and coming out in his mid twenties and thirties Elliot talks to us about the struggles of not only being trans, but also about mental health.
I've been wanting to read Pageboy since it came out and I am glad I read it at this exact moment that I'm feeling masculine.
Almost at the end, Elliot talks about how he experiences dysphoria, which hit too close to home. I experience dysphoria in the same way and I'm glad I can hear that from a real person be honest about it.
