Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir
Kai Cheng Thom
ISBN: 0994047134 9780994047137
Available at: http://metonymypress.com/product/fierce-femmes-notorious-liars-dangerous-trans-girls-confabulous-memoir/
Note: "[Fierce] is a magical place for every trans girl to insert herself into the story. A place where we belong. The beauty of this pseudo-memoir — which acts as a satirical commentary on the roots of trans literature as based in memoir — is that we get to identify with more than one character who’s canonically and unapologetically a trans woman, and not sensationally named as trans in every sentence, either." -- Autostraddle
