"

There's a lot of information in there that you cannot find online and it's called All He Wanted by Aphrodite Jones.

The problem is the book is really triggering and takes a lot of work to get through. Mainly because of the consistent misgendering and lack of knowledge on the transgender community that is rampant in this book.

The book was even initially titled All She Wanted. Literally misgendering the victim in the book title.

However, the Kindle version has been updated now to All He Wanted along with a deep apology from the author.

So although the book has changed the title and there's like the author's note when referring to Brandon's childhood, he still misgendered in the book.
