Part of what makes the work so strong is that Leslie recounts difficult experiences while firmly holding our gaze. Whether relating to us gender dysphoria in childhood or recounting the dangers of using motorway service station toilets as a non-binary adult, or pushing for climate justice with Extinction Rebellion, the writing is empowering, defiant and rooted firmly in the modern world. - Poet Tracey Rhys, writer of Teaching a Bird to Sing 

Very honest, articulate and moving, thank you for sharing this Leslie. It's a complex issue and refreshing to hear a non-binary perspective presented with quiet dignity, and with the wisdom of age. - Rohase Piercy, author of My Dearest Holmes, The Coward Does It With A Kiss, What Brave Bulls Do.

I love your writing style and the situations you write about really come alive. My husband has Dupuytren's contractures too so I lent it to him and he also enjoyed it. You have a way of drawing us in. - Dr Janet Lees
