Speaking of literature recommendations: I'm currently on the last pages of Alexandra Hamer's "To be a girl" about a young trans woman in the Victorian era. It's a big recommendation!

But be aware that there's a short episode involving knifes and blood. But it's not very explicit.
Won't go into more detail because it would be a spoiler.
