I'm currently reading Sisters of Dorley, and can't stop thinking about this one

Paragraph from chapter 34 (in a flashback to 2004)

Elle shakes her head. She hates it when Bea uses that word, and she suspects it’s why Bea insists on using it. They’ve had debates, over dinner, after sex, about whether the newer term, trans woman, even applies to Bea. She’s said many times that she prefers the old one: her sex, she says, was indeed trans’d. It seems to her like it describes a process, which is something she can more comfortably identify with than a term which seems to Beatrice like it makes a statement about her inner life.

That's not a bad bit, I think it's cute. If you feel more like you've undergone a process, fair game. Especially if you feel you've always been the gender you are, for instance.

Also Dorley must be the absolute silliest fucking book there is?

Yeah, I guess it could also work in that context. The situation in Dorley Hall is a bit complicated, but it is a gender bender.

Also Dorley must be the absolute silliest fucking book there is?

Yeah, it really is (technically a series at this point with 40 chapters released), despite the tough topics, can't recommend it enough. I didn't know I could laugh hard enough to look like the 😂 emoji but I actually did from the bloody mugs.
