Schuyler Bailar becomes the trans voice to learn from in most things trans/LGBTQ, lending his time, experience, and energy when many can't. The book is mainly geared towards allies educating themselves, but is an awesome read if you're in the LGBTQIA community. Bailar includes intersectionality, tons of research and sources if deeper dives are desired.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Homophobia, Transphobia
Moderate: Mental illness, Racism, Sexism, Suicide, Violence, Xenophobia
Minor: Ableism, Body shaming, Eating disorder, Pandemic/Epidemic
Much of the spoilers given are based on examples given and stats about anti-trans legislation, suicides, and the like. The most detailed we get are seeing examples of phrases from actual comments Bailar has received on social media or at conferences he's spoken at.

Fantastic easy-to-read book that is a bit of a memoir and also thorough guide on gender identity. Highly recommend especially for all cisgender (aka not-transgender) people or allies.
