5.0

First off, this is one of the most beautiful books i've ever seen. It has a gorgeous cover, thick pages with full, colorful portraits. It's more of a showpiece book than one to hide away on a shelf. It's also informative and well-written, with loads of information. I loved it.

For a book published in 2019, the language around trans and non-binary folks is cringeworthy. “Biologically intact females - with gender neutral pronouns - who identify as gay males.” Ugh I know there’s a note about language in the intro, but this language is something I would expect from a book written in the 90s, not 2019. The pictures are nice, but the book barely skims the surface.
