I'm due for a re-read on that one. I picked up All About Love recently again and am actually marking and annotating it, and I plan to re-read the will to change again after.

I hope I can actually read and listen to it this time. I'm not proud to admit that I was a little too young and not recognizing myself as nonbinary yet to read it with an open mind.

When I was still playing at being a man I remember reading it with a lot of rage at the perception of being somehow called out or criticized (often for behavior I don't even do and myself abhor) that prevented me from actually reading and absorbing the book.

and I have heard the general consensus of the chapter seemingly err toward "there's no struggle but class struggle!" enough times to make me raise my eyebrows, but I really want this circle to be solid and not have to have any friction come to a head.
