Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam

hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

This was a really interesting look back on trans history and how it intersects with the history of other identities, past and present. I appreciate how the author made sure to define the shape of where they understand their boundaries and empathy to stop, and where the voices of others must take over in order to be fully understood. Overall, this was a good introduction/overview to a variety of identities that we, in western communities, would understand as queer and/or trans.
