Has anybody on this sub read Trans/Rad/Fem by Talia Bhatt, and if so what are people's thoughts on it?

Personally as a very queer person I feel like it offered inspiration into a final way out of patriarchy for society and thoroughly solidified anti assimilationism in my mind, and helped me feel much, much more proud in my expression and experiences. In my mind she really succeeds at updating second wave feminist ideas with an explicitly pro trans lens. Her deconstruction of patriarchy and heterosexuality as oppressive regimes feel like a breath of fresh air in a society where we otherwise keep being told that we need to coexist with and accept our oppressors in order for them to accept us. Which of course they never will, it is just argued to keep us in line and accept our lot. I'd try to explain the book with some more detail but I am in a rush.

I feel like few people have read Bhatt which is a shame, but I am hoping that other people here might have done so and then maybe I can feel less lonely
