The Story
"Well-written and very funny, of course ... a wonderful read, and one that's not like any other book." - J. Ursula Topaz, author of A Rotten Girl
"As far as solutions to medical gatekeeping go, I'm mad I didn't think of this one." - Alyson Greaves, author of Welcome to Dorley Hall
Nicky's never getting on oestrogen. She's too late. The waiting lists are years long, and private clinics are shutting down. She's rotting in the apartment she shares with her childhood friend Daniel, the insufferable twink Jeff, and Kyle with his helicopter mother and arranged marriage-and there's no way out.
Until Daniel knocks on her door with news of an underground online contest. It awards hormones and surgeries to anyone willing to grow the biggest breasts-so long as they claim they're cis men, and no fellow competitor can prove otherwise. The prize for these men? A million dollars. For Nicky? Her salvation.
Except not all's as it seems. Daniel is actually Katherine, a trans woman terrified to come out-what if she loses her oldest and only friend? Jeff, hopelessly enamoured with Kyle, turned to the contest to make himself more attractive. And for Kyle, only a million-dollar victory could unshackle him from the life of an eldest desi son.
As their lies and desires set the roommates on a collision course, the question remains: what kind of man would compete to take oestrogen? Answer carefully. Online, someone is always watching. Sisters of Dorley meets Stag Dance in this absurdist, satirical drama exploring transfeminine love, community, and identity in times of panic, scarcity, and crackdown.
