And I cant help but think that the majority of the reviews are from people who already had a disliking to the man from his other platforms and ventures. However, I'm glad the author has spoken about something that clearly has affected his life in a very negative way, and I hope it has given him the peace he needs from the experience. I would’ve been interested to hear more about what happened after the airport situation, even as maybe one extra chapter.

I find this book extremely demeaning and a complete insult to those who are genuinely struggling with mental health issues. I also found it hard to follow - we started the book in almost current day (a couple of years ago) at an airport, and then the entirety of the book after this was set 30+ years ago.

Maybe it's more mainstream now or maybe it was where I grew up but I was rather confused by the entire thing as what the issue was. In Joly's case, he was uncomfortable with the way that school uniforms were used to categorize binary gender identities based on a student's sex assigned at birth; Joly had to wear a male school uniform with pants. I am aware that the author suggests that people shouldn't seek mental health help as mental health issues "do not need to be fixed, but accepted". In Joly’s psyche, Jonathan and Giselle are one person in two physicalities, and in Domdie they are able to gambol and play, far from the criticisms and cruelties of others.

The memoir was released commercially around the same time that the Saccone-Joly family began releasing details about one of their children, who is allegedly transgender (Jonathan Joly himself identifies as non-binary) [1] . I truly hope the author receives help and provides his children with a better upbringing than he purportedly had.
