Recently hailed as "the greatest cabaret artist of [V's] generation" in The New Yorker, Mx.

With a recent diagnosis of attention deficit disorder, and news that V's first lover from childhood has been imprisoned for impersonating an undercover police officer, Bond recalls in vivid detail coming of age as a trans kid.
