Funny and heartbreaking

Gave me a new way to look at drag. It also shows the reader a glimpse of the complexities of the feelings many religious lgbtqi+ experience as well as Middle Eastern immigrants. And wonderful descriptions and thoughts around OCD.
It even contains life lessons for me, a white cis-het woman.
Amrou is honest, open, and a very reflected writer.

The only small thing, not even negative really, is that their voice is so relaxing it difficult to keep focused when listening for long periods (hours).

🤯🤯😍😍😍

Pfuuu, where to start. Amrou is going to take you on a wonderful journey. This book should be read in schools. This is also one of many books that any parent should read. In case whether you are Muslim or not is irrelevant. Christianity has deeply rootes homophobic thoughts as well and so does many religions as we live in a patriarchal and white supremacist society. This book is a realm of fresh air. It will open new areas in your mind where so much is possible, so much love and compassion resides in these hidden spaces. Read the book or listen to it. I particularly enjoyed listening to Amrou telling his own story

WOW!

"Unicorn" is both heart-warming and heart-breaking at the same time.
This astounding memoir gives a voice seldom heard, of a Queer, Drag Queen Muslim non-binary person. It managed to break my heart one moment and the next, swell with happiness.
I cannot stress enough how important this read is.
TW: homophobia, sexual assault.

Interesting

A good real story of a gay Muslim you may think boring . It's not, it's good.

let's call it OK

This is a good book, it's heartbreaking and unashamedly brutal in the way that he describes his mental health, his torment by his parents and sexual partners. it's really interesting to hear what it's like growing up as a queer person in a family that doesn't actually accept you.
the only thing that kept pulling me out of the story was the fact that every time he introduced a new character he said 'let's call her/him...' like we didn't know he's had to change their names to avoid getting sued.
any way I'd recommend it to anyone who wants insight into the queer experience

A raw, honest, vulnerable and powerful memoir.

A very moving life story of coming around full circle and finding self-love and acceptance. Loved it.

Life As A Unicorn

I listened to 𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗘 𝗔𝗦 𝗔 𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗡 (previously published as Unicorn) by Amrou Al-Kadhi as an audiobook 🎧📖

Life As A Unicorn is Al-Kadhi's biography, telling the story of their life, from growing up as a young gay boy who wanted to join the theatre, to their being confidently out and performing as a drag queen for the whole world to see and appreciate.
Al Kadhi's account is heartbreaking at times, and I felt so much empathy for them and their reflections on realising they were gay from a young age, even though they knew their family would not be happy with this revelation.

Al-Kadhi bravely shares their litany of experiences growing up, attempting to come to terms with their sexuality and gender, and finding ways to cope however they can. Unfortunately these coping mechanisms were not always very healthy.
I'm glad to know that Al-Kadhi has a relationship with their parents now, but it's pretty clear to anyone reading/listening to Life As A Unicorn that when they were young, they were subjected to psychological abuse from their parents.
It's not unusual for any child who has been through some form of abuse to develop OCD, or to seriously focus their attention on schoolwork, as this is something that to some degree they have control over, to counteract the things happening that they can't control.
However, Al-Kadhi's experiences of OCD were pretty extreme, and their OCD dominated much of their existence throughout their schooling and education.

Religion is always a complicated topic for LGBTQIA+ people, regardless of the religion.
Al-Kadhi talks about their experience with Islam, both in school, with their family, and also how they have embraced a new found appreciation for Islam as they have gotten older.
Often teachers of religion can instill fear in young people, with claims of Hell and eternal damnation as a kind of blackmail to make children conform, but it is wonderful to know that Al-Kadhi has been able to unlearn some of the untruths that were told to them as a child.

Al-Kadhi also candidly talks about their race dysphoria, and how they have struggled to find their place even within the LGBTQIA+ community - they weren't always in healthy romantic or sexual relationships, and due to their own internalised shame weren't always able to support other LGBTQIA+ friends around them.
However, their journey to gender euphoria isn't all doom and gloom. Some of their anecdotes and stories are genuinely funny, and moving, and interesting.

The ending of the book was perfect, and really highlights the difference that people can feel when they find where they belong.
From a place of love, and surrounded by our chosen family, a lot of past hurt can heal, and a lot of destructive behaviours can cease, allowing people to lead a genuinely happy and fulfilled life.

I'd recommend Life As A Unicorn to anyone who likes biographies, and anyone who wants to hear more about the LGBTQIA+ experience. This is a must read for Pride month (and all year round), and Al-Kadhi's intelligence, passion and empathy shine through their story.
I also felt it worked particularly well in audiobook format, especially as Al-Kadhi narrates it.
