nothing i can say that hasn't been said better. _left hand_ helped rewire how i thought about being human while i was still a kid, and _the dispossessed_ did the same all over again years after i probably should have read it.
i can still feel the sensation of sitting in an arm chair in a shitty apartment a decade ago, finishing that book in tears and wishing fiercely that i could live the kind of life it said was both vital and possible.
