Summary

This short novella covers the events pre and post outbreak of a virus that causes people to stop producing any kind of sex hormones like estrogen or testosterone from the perspective of its patient zero.

Thoughts

I loved this just so much I thought it was really smart and honest and I always need more trans apocalypse/horror stories. If you liked Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin I would definitely recommend this as a companion piece to it. They're both drawing on similar themes of inter community violence and connnection, the need for hormones for both cis and trans people, the construction of gender, and survival for trans women in both the real world and in fiction.

The worst thing I can say is that I wish so much this wasn't a novella and was a full fledged novel. I wanted to spend more time with these characters and the way the virus changed the world and the way we all construct gender. What was there was great but I just wanted more, especially more of what the first chapter brought to the table. The exploration of how even in a world where no one naturally produces hormones, people still have ideas of what being cis and being trans means in a way that's also tied up in classism and transmisogyny. Estrogen gets rationed out for cis women to increase the birth rates, and cis men over inject testosterone to preform masculinity in even more drastic ways. People who can't afford pure hormones take riskier methods that create an underclass of trans women still because our cultural ideas of gender are so ingrained with transmisogyny even in a world where there are no "natural" genders.
