The social justice portion also left a lot to be desired for me, personally. Maybe I'm too used to reading academic articles which take a deep dive into specific topics, but none of this felt like more than a superficial skim (or a series of blog posts, which the author mentions writing), and every time they mentioned an idea from somebody else's scholarly work I wished I was reading one of those instead.
To be honest I'm not sure I would have gotten through this if it hadn't been in audiobook form. Maybe somebody less familiar with how racism and cissexism, etc. operate in society would find this a handy primer, but unfortunately it just kind of bored me.

Colorism. Eugenics, mentions of forced sterilization. Climate change. Rape and assault are discussed and frankly but not graphically described; a chapter centered around rape includes a content warning in the preface and is able to be skipped.collins1129's review against another edition
