"Even as it shines light on the beauty and toxicity of Black masculinity from a transgender perspective-the tropes, the presumptions-Pretty is as much a powerful and tender love letter as it is a call for change. Informed by KB Brookins's personal experiences growing up in Texas, those of other Black transgender masculine people, Black queer studies, and cultural criticism, Pretty is concerned with the marginalization suffered by a unique American constituency-whose condition is a world apart from that of cisgender, non-Black, and non-masculine people.". 20240731.
