Some people are afraid trans people are going to destroy civilization as we know it, and here Torrey Peters brazenly responds, "So what if we did?" What would happen if we released a virus that made everyone stop producing hormones, a world where everyone gets to understand what it means to choose? Infect Your Friends and Loves Ones is the radical and deeply honest trans dystopia that rises from these seeds: a raging novella seething with dysfunction and resilience.
