    Starting from Scratch (Housemates #5) by Jay Northcote


    accurate trans portrayal, hot sex, awesome people

    Most people were obsessed with genitals. Gay guys were all about the dick and straight guys were all about tits and pussy. It was something you took for granted, a fact of life, until you realised you were trans and then suddenly began to see gender through a totally different lens. Definitions of masculinity and femininity became more flexible, less rigid, and not so focused on body parts.

    This is my first attempt to read a sort-of-erotic M/M romance fiction, and also a first novel with a trans lead.
