This guide is so comprehensive. It deconstructs not just gender, but every aspect that intersects with gender (fatphobia, racism, misogyny, capitalism, class, ability, etc) in such an approachable way that even a curious gender/activism/theory novice could understand. I am very impressed!
3.5. I felt like this book was especially strong when it discussed the personal journey of the author. But it seemed to bounce around a lot, covering a lot of different topics (race, school-to-prison pipeline, abortion, etc.). And while they're important topics, they seemed beyond the scope of this particular book.
Pretty great, all-encompassing book about gender identity, gender expression, and how that intersects with sexuality, race, socioeconomic status, colonization, and feminism.
Un libro molto istruttivo su come il concetto di genere sia poco naturale e molto costruito e come questo sia spesso cambiato a seconda del luogo, del tempo e di come i suoi cambiamenti abbiano influito lo sviluppo della società, il tutto raccontato in maniera da venir compreso da chiunque prenda il libro in mano, espert* sull'argomento o meno.
Visually it’s a beautiful book, and I enjoyed the artwork immensely. I appreciated the concept as well. As a genderfluid person, I learned a lot from this book, especially about intersectional feminism. But the amount of topics covered was overwhelming and lacked organization. I would have preferred an in-depth study of fewer topics.
This book would be an excellent addition to libraries and bookstores. My only concern is that it’s written for open-minded and curious readers, but I truly hope that this resource reaches a wide variety of people.

Very disjointed and surface level
A good look into Gender and Queer issues and knowledge
Read this in one sitting at Barnes & Noble. If you’re looking for a quick, informative read on gender and identity I highly recommend. Definitely good for those who want to be more informed or who need a quick refresher :)
