This is a book that revels in its queerness and demands you look that queerness in the eye not the carefully palatable, sexless, domesticated LGBTQ+-ness of a certain kind of cis white gay man or woman, but the raw messy uncensored queerness that makes so many people so very uncomfortable. Manhunt is as gloriously, defiantly provocative as the first brick at Stonewall, with just as much wrath and fierce pride and we have had ENOUGH behind it. This is very much a queer as in fuck you book. causing or liable to cause a feeling of nausea or disgust. ~when it comes to the apocalypse and everything else TERFs = cockroachesġ. this book has something to make everyone uncomfortable. ~if you have a virus that takes out all men…what happens to trans people?
