From having watched Jamie Raines's YouTube channel since I was a young person beginning to figure out what being Trans* meant to me, reading this book and seeing his personality and intelligence shine through was very important to me. While I'm far enough along now and read enough that most of this information isn't new to me, the book was still a great read with voices from all ends of the spectrum. What I found very interesting was being able to see information from the Trans Femme side of being Transgender, this topic isn't usually something I see covered in the books that I read as my usual authors tend to be Trans Masculine but seeing this side of things was great to have together in one book.

i should stop reading trans 101s probably
on an editorial note, no book needs "ha-ha" written down. especially not that many times.

(not a bad book for like.. allies or ppl new to being trans i guess.)

Everything you need to know about being trans in a lighthearted conversation with Raines and company.

This is a really good, if quick, and concise book about the trans experience from beginning to end (?).
Loved the additional Q&A's from other members of the community, it's great to have a variety of perspectives and the questions themselves make for excellent journaling prompts if you're into that.

I noticed a few potential grammar mistakes in my copy on pages 58 and 232 but I would still 100% recommend this for the recently hatched or loved ones looking to up their allyship.
