"Don't you see you're still giving them what they want?" Reya demanded. "Giving them a body you think is deviant, changing it, trying to get a result you think is Pure?" excerpt from FAILURE TO COMPLY by cavar

@librarycards got me an advanced reader copy of this novel and its taken awhile for me to get to it. Some things have happened to me and when I've tried to read since even if I get through a book, even if I'm processing the pages, quizzing myself, checking in, I retain next to nothing. I was scared I'd read this and it would be the same, that I'd be on the other side and not be able to say anything about it or feel like I hadn't read anything regardless of the actual contents of the book. I was afraid regardless of what the book was supposed to do I'd be on the other side of it more frustrated with my bodymind.

So I didn't read it for months. I looked at it on the shelf next to all the other books I wanted to feel like I could read. At the end of December

Hi, this is now March 2025, I'm concussed, and I found the above in my drafts from January when I finished Failure to Comply. I had a lot of moments of kinship/familiarity between the experience of reading the book, what it explored, and existing as my disabled mad trans bodymind. I also felt some mutual frustration over wanting to more completely understand it/myself and also over the course of reading, became more comfortable with existing in that state. I know there is more I wanted to say, but I'm posting this because I'd rather acknowledge it in some capacity now than have this languish in drafts longer.

"Y así uno puede reírse, y creer que no está hablando en serio, pero sí se está hablando en serio, la risa ella sola ha cavado más túneles útiles que todas las lágrimas de la tierra."

(J. Cortázar, Rayuela cap 71)
