I Just Finished Reading It, And ‘Tango: My Childhood Backwards And In High Heels’ by Justin Vivian Bond Is One Of My New Favorite Books!!!

Oh my god- 

THE “MORAL” (OR WHATEVER IT’D BE CALLED) EXPRESSED ON THE LAST PAGE IS SO FUCKING IMPORTANT AND IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME!!! 

I need to, when I have a working phone again (which will hopefully be today) make a post on instagram about how fucking fantastic it is, and of course tag v because I like to thank people for making things that mean a lot to me, especially when I know they tend to check when they’re tagged in stuff, as Justin Vivian Bond does (and has been kind enough to like most things I tag V in) so I hope v sees whatever post I make because I want v to know how important it is that v told v’s story and how much various aspects of it resonate with me!

BUT ANYWAYS

I recommend this to anyone who wants to read:

A Queer Personal Narrative

Something That’ll (Probably) Make You Laugh

Something That’s Also Deeply Heartbreaking In Multiple Ways

Something That Doesn’t Shy Away From NSFW Topics

Something That Offers Support To Social Outcasts

Something That Illustrates An Empathetic View Of “Troublemakers”

Something That Provides Commentary On Mental Illness Treatments

Something That Reflects On What Has Been

Something That Encourages And Inspires A Better Future

Something Written By Mx.Justin Vivian Bond

In a span of minutes I went from literally crying over how pretty Justin Vivian Bond is to laughing at v’s hilarious witty response to some transphobia hurled at v, to crying again at the fact that there is such transphobia and that no one is immune no matter how clever and witty their responses to it may be.
