As a male to female I found it gloomy that the central character was so tied up by 'closet level' fears, despite being at the stage of getting ready for surgery. Except that it felt, at the end, to be a sympathetic story. A lot of her fears ended up by being faced. Could be, at that level, it might be an interesting story for other than LGBT.
