It looks like a joke but the reviews are all serious and positive:
I loved this book. I read it cover-to-cover the day it came out, and then the very next day, I did it again. That's how good it is. It's delightful, heartwarming, at times tear-jerking, and definitely worthwhile.
Transgender issues are definitely the issue of the day. And the belief that trans women are just men pretending to be women, or vice versa, is at the heart of it all. So actually understanding the trans experience should be important to everyone, regardless of gender, and regardless of whether or not you know people who are trans and want to understand their experience better on a personal level.
And “To Own the Libs”, which could be retitled “Transition 101”, is definitely a good way to come to that understanding, on both a personal and political level.. It doesn't talk about surgery (FFS or GRS), but pretty much everything else. There are trans characters at various stages of their experience, a non-binary character, and cis LGB characters as well. And while the book is far from explicitly political, issues like the accessibility of gender-affirming hormones, anti-trans violence, bathroom access, and the attitudes of TERFS are very much a part of the story.
But above all, “To Own the Libs” is just a delightful story, one that will bring a smile to your face, and some tears as well. Highly recommended.
Or
I cannot begin to properly put into words how wonderful this story was. An utterly absurd premise, somehow written in a completely believable - and even relatable - way. Well, that is, for anyone who's ever been an egg themselves, anyway.
The core story flows from humorous to touching, from heart-wrenching to deeply heartwarming. And then on top of all that, you have some amazing epilogues that point towards the future.
I'd put off reading this one, because I knew it was going to destroy me, and I was right. 12/10, would get emotionally destroyed again. This one goes in the re-read list.

lol it's actually a legitimate concern in psychology. You can easily get diagnosed as anything if you know which symptoms to say.

This is one reason trans people typically oppose psychological gatekeeping, because its so easy to look up what psychologists want to hear and fake it anyway

Yup. "Truscum" heuristics are easy to trick - which is why most transphobes just go full chud and consider all transitions illegitimate.

Trannnies all know they have to tell their psych “I'll kill myself tomorrow if I don't get to twirl in a skirt” when actual trans pathology is merely

A chud that hates his life and is unhappy decides to out to own the libs and show that anyone can pass themselves off as trans for personal or immoral benefit. His life and mental state improves to the point that he starts to stop pretending to be trans and embraces his inner . It's literally about the incel to and Nazi to pipeline.
