Most of what's in this book is stuff I knew already. I think this would be more useful for people with more complicated relationships with sex and their bodies. The author's tone is compassionate and knowledgeable, and I'm sure the book has helped and will continue to help lots of people. I wish that the author was more specific about using terms like "cis" and "dfab" since that's the audience she's discussing.
