An incredible, well researched, must-read book that was insightful and helpful. It's a useful book for those wanting to learn more about trans, be that as an ally or a person questioning their gender. It is useful in terms of helpful terminology explanations and phrasing of words to support the trans community. It leaves you with confidence and information and how to be supportive and how to get involved from using the correct pronouns to advocating trans rights in a world where anti trans legislation is sadly becoming more common. As a cis white woman, it was accessible and enhanced my learning, with the hope and determination that I will become a better ally for maginalised  groups.  I would say it's an enlightening read for anyone.

Really enjoyed this book. My partner is going through their gender journey so taught me a lot and gave me some good learnings to teach others. Will be recommending to family to help broaden their understandings

The upshot: be good to each other, listen to what people want, respect that. A good round-up of the trans/pronouns. Figure I can be an ally by checking out books on LGBTQIA+ topics.

A necessary read for anyone trying to expand their knowledge of gender identity. Schuyler’s stories of his life are an essential tool to help the reader understand the complexities of this topic. What a beautiful book to finish on the last day of pride month🤍
