I am going to preface this review by saying I am not sure I am exactly the target audience for this book. While it is definitely for everyone, it caters more to the less informed in order to act as a guide. So a lot of the terminology and concepts being introduced were ones I was already familiar with. There was also a lot of the book directed at cis individuals, which I am not. My last critique was that I felt the book could have been organized a bit better. All that said, I did really enjoy this book and there was still a lot I learned. I liked the mix of personal anecdote and research, both through individual interviews and scientific studies/organization. And of course I deeply appreciated the honestly and vulnerability from the author about his experiences. I also loved the advice he gave to fellow trans people, especially on how to manage interactions with cis people. I definitely wish I had this book when I was trying to figure out how to come out to my parents. So overall this book was amazing and I highly recommend it.
