A great resource! Bailar does a great job of laying out ideas and language in a way that’s easy to understand despite the nuance in the subject. If you’re looking to learn more about the spectrum of gender and the trans experience (or someone you know is), this is an excellent book to turn to.
I often find that voices I like on social media don’t translate well to longer form writing, but Bailar is one of the rare exceptions. This book is very well-researched, well-written, and eminently readable and understandable.

I’ve followed Schuyler on Instagram for many years and learnt so much from him. This book added even more to that learning.
Schuyler is so open and gentle with his teaching, and part of his power is that he never ever makes it seem that that is how everyone must be. He is so beautifully inclusive, he really listens and learns and models that so well for us as readers.
I found it especially valuable to read him share critiques on aspects of mainstream perceptions of trans identities, such as the common idea of being born in the “wrong body”. Schuyler made it so abundantly clear why this saying could be harmful in a way that had me going “shit of course!” While still striking that balance of ensuring respect for anyone who does view this as their experience.
What an absolute legend. Amazing book. Amazing guy.
