About this listen

At once a love letter and challenge to the traditional transgender memoir, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars is a playful, surrealist dance through queer coming of age.

A haunted young girl (who happens to be a kung-fu expert and pathological liar) runs away from an oppressive city, where the sky is always grey, in search of love and sisterhood - and finds herself in a magical place known only as the Street of Miracles. There, she is quickly adopted into a vigilante gang of glamorous warrior femmes called the Lipstick Lacerators, whose mission is to scour the Street of violent men and avenge murdered trans women everywhere. But when disaster strikes, can our intrepid heroine find the truth within herself in order to protect her new family and heal her broken heart?

It made me laugh, cry and see myself in a way I never thought possible. Every Trans person needs this book. Regardless if they are a veteran or a child.

Love a fellow Fierce Femme.

GURL!

I love how different this story is told from so many other LGTBQI A2+ books. The narrator has a good pacing , i just wish that there wasn’t weirding editing mistakes in the audio and mispronunciations. However these are only nitpicky issues. Otherwise, I absolutely recommend getting this.

Amazing story

I almost didn’t choose this book because it was classed as young adult and I’m a 50 yo cis-gendered woman. I am so glad that I let my instinct guide me instead. This was one of the best books I have listened to. It broke open my heart xxxxoooo

Amazing book!

Reminds me of the fierce femmes, Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. The hardships that trans femmes have faced and are still facing laced with magic, metaphor to soften the blow.

A stonewall story with magic
