I'm rounding up on this one because I feel like this book tries to cover a lot. I'm not sure it handles all of these serious topics well, but I think it is admirable that it tries to tackle all of these ideas while showing unique expressions of gender, identity, and personality expression.

So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
