Hi. I just wanted to let you know how important Under my Skin and Flesh and Blood are to me. You have no idea how much it means to me to see a character like Min. I recently started transitioning, and those books were a huge part in my journey of learning to accept myself as I am. I actually brought a copy to my therapist and read several passages out loud. "This is what I'm feeling." I told her. It helped give me the words to discribe what I was feeling. Min is so important to me.
First of all, congratulations on taking such a big step forward, you must be so excited and terrified! Good luck with your transition, I hope everything is super smooth! :D
It’s so wonderful for me to read your message, honestly! I set out to represent trans folks, and I love knowing that I was able to write a character who so closely represents how you feel that they give you the words to describe it yourself. Honestly, being able to do this for someone is the reason why I write these sort of books <3333
So thanks for this lovely message! :D
