It's weird. There was a time when I would desperately read any trans memoir I could get my hands on, and then by the time my transition was "done" (inasmuch as we can ever call transition "done"), I had moved to really not caring about other people's trans narratives, especially as they tend to be written for cis consumption. But I actually do want to read this one. Perhaps because he's roughly my age.

Good for him.

I loved some of his earlier work before his name change and all associated with that. While I haven't watched anything he's made recently, Umbrella Academy is supposed to be good, but I haven't set aside any time to watch it yet, I hope that he continues to find success and finds material he wants to be in and which matches his talent as an actor.

just my 2 cents, but honestly, UA was only very good for the first season. the second was okay, but the third (beside elliot’s bits about his character being trans) reaaaally dropped the ball. characters doing terrible things and being brushed off as well as VERY out of character actions to name a few glaring points.

i wouldn’t personally recommend it unless they really clean up their act in the final season.
