Another reviewer called this book something like "Trans Identities 101", and I think that's a pretty apt descriptor. Definitely meant to be a lighthearted and informative book for a YA audience, I didn't get much out of this as someone who has openly been Trans/Non-binary for half a decade.

I'd recommend it for parents looking for information, or young people beginning to navigate their gender journey. It definitely focuses on binary Trans people more than it does non-binary folks as well. The jokes and comics throughout were cute, but didn't really land for me as someone a bit older. I do think this is a great book for teens that I would've benefitted from as a kid, but as an adult well into their journey, it felt a little shallow.
