Some days—or weeks, or months, or even years—being trans feels bad. In "Side Affects," Hil Malatino opens a new conversation about trans experience that acknowledges the reality of feeling fatigue, envy, burnout, numbness, and rage amid the ongoing onslaught of casual and structural transphobia in order to map the intricate emotional terrain of trans survival. "Hil Malatino [is] an indispensable thinker when it comes to trans scholarship." —Torrey Peters, author of "Detransition, Baby"
