    The Sisters of Dorley Hall, by Alyson Greaves.

    I cannot recommend this book series enough as an LGBT/transgender read.

    The series explores the protagonist Stef uncovering a secret force femme programme at a campus in the UK called Dorley Hall, a secret corrective facility that reeducates violent and abusive men, by turning them into girls against their will.

    However, Stef is not a violent or abusive man, they are a closeted trans woman who gets their way into Dorley Hall to exploit free healthcare (Go UK!)

    I will state that this will not be an easy read if you struggle with themes of dysphoria and torture – it is incredibly heavy on themes of dysphoria and how it being forced upon you in a context of not being trans feels like.

    As a transfemme myself, I cannot say in words how difficult some parts of reading it was, parts made me choke up and cry about my own personal experiences of coming to realize my own trans journey.

    The author herself is transgender and I feel that really helps get a narrative across of trans themes and how it presents in a context of it being forced.

    I can’t recommend it enough!
