I love Juno Dawson's nonfiction style! It's like a 300 page Twitter thread

Some good conversation about gender and how 90% of it is not biological but what society imposes on us. Boys can't play with barbies or should cry. Why not? There's no biological reason for us not to.
Also gives a peek at how confusing and chaotic finding yourself be in a world that is very happy to define us.
Plenty of pop culture references and written with a sense of humour, it's a good read that's also fun!!

No reflection on the book, I just moved out of my non-fiction phase and got more interested in novels. Hope to go back to it when I'm more in the mood.

Outstanding!
Everyone should read this book. A fascinating insight on what life's been like for Juno so far and I'm so glad I listened to it. The audiobook is fabulous. It felt like we were just having a chat. A one-sided one, yes, but a chat nonetheless. And one that I wish had gone on for longer.
Intelligent, funny, well written and incredibly engaging. Really enjoyed it.

An interesting book, though it stays a bit on the surface. I found the sections where she discusses the mockery and threat of violence she faces if she doesn’t ‘pass’ really heartbreaking. How much better all of our lives would be if we could just let each other be.
