5.0
Upon finishing this book I felt compelled to start it over again just to feel all of the feelings I experienced through it. This book is powerful required reading for all queer people. I’ve never felt so part of a community. Truly astonishing.

I read this book based on the recommendation of a blog I think highly of and I am so, so grateful to have read this book. I found the way it taught me how to be aware of how I approach history to be gentle but firm, with an awareness of how my background might cause harm. I read this immediately after reading "Reclaiming Two-Spirit" and the difference is staggering (in a favorable way towards Before We Were Trans).
We've always been here. We will be here. I'm so thankful, again, for this book.
As someone who is embracing their queer identity, the acknowledgements made me tear up, particularly the end.
