 He/She/They is an excellent introduction to gender, transness, and how we can all support the trans community. Because trans issues touch on such a broad front of subjects, there was quite a lot of ground for this book to cover — psychology, history, medicine, politics — and I think it managed that handily. The tone is personal, almost conversational, and is very effective for the delivery of the material. There are plenty of questions that trans people are asked, often inappropriately, which I think can be answered in this book instead.

I believe this is a book with a wide potential audience. Trans and queer people can read this, parents and educators of trans people can read this, people existing in our society which includes trans people in it can read this, and I believe all can finish it having gained something meaningful from the experience. I definitely recommend this book.

My thanks to Hachette Go and NetGalley for providing an advanced reader copy.

Schuyler Bailar's book He/She/They is absolutely necessary reading. He uses his personal experience as a trans man as well as science, history, facts, and footnotes in this guide to understand gender identity and trans rights. A truly gifted educator and communicator, the kind and compassionate manner Bailar employs means his message is not diluted. He is changing the world one person at a time. Very highly recommend.

This book is such a good resource. It's got a relaxed style like a real person just talking, not like a text book. It explains so many issues for trans folks in a way that can be understood by someone new to the concept.
