There are several really problematic issues with this article. Firstly that some aspects of the factual information are actually incorrect: The Other Me by Suzanne van Rooyen is intact the first trans* teen novel to be published in South Africa, by a trans* author no less. Secondly, the use of certain terminology is incredibly damaging such as “biological female” where the correct term is AFAB (assigned female at birth) please attend to this because as an activist who focuses on trans* rights this is a very worrying and problematic article
