Lots of very good points. Only wish the author had put less emphasis on ‘socialization’ as a defining feature for some of the demographics discussed in the book.

Outstanding and extremely eye-opening. Halfway through the audiobook, I ordered a physical copy.

A thorough and thoughtful look at asexuality, blackness, and how they interact. Well worth the time.

I listened to this as an audiobook, and I'm glad I did. Lots of good info and examples to reframe info. Pretty fast; A little repetitive at points, but not annoyingly so. Even if I already "knew" it, it presented a good reinvigoration to inspect how I'm responding to compulsory sexuality and its relations to other forms of oppression in my daily life.

Alternate title pitch: How white cisheteropatriarchy ruins everything.
This book is amazing. Brown provides an import examination of compulsory sexuality and how it is harmful to everyone and enmeshed in white supremacy.
