This book is much needed discourse on Black & Trans media represention. Content is great, loved the Transcestors section and it is well researched and synthesized. Pose gets her own chapter, so does trans masc representation and nonbinary too. The TV show Sort Of gives me hope as well and was glad to see both it and Veneno got mentions. Many of the characters and people discussed were also part of my own many nonbinary trans awakenings so it was nostalgic and eye-opening to have things documented like this.

As someone with multiple reading disabilities, I found how receipts were interwoven into sentences was way overcomplicated. Often, I would need to reread the beginning of a sentence's structure without the infodump tangent to understand what was being said. Presenting the article or book info in footnotes would have made this a less challenging reading experience for me.

Took a little while to pick up, but I really enjoyed this! Very informative, especially for those interested in queer rep in media.
