The message here doesn't seem truly novel, but 'You will survive through sex reassignment surgery' must at least count as unusual.

The story also illustrates how the word "I" can conceal any number of unsafe assumptions. Clearly part of the author knew more than she thought she did. (And the part about her childhood memories seems credible though not strictly proven.)
