Reviews with content warning for Ableism - Continuum

Chella Man shares his story of being a deaf, transgender, gender queer, Jewish, Chinese individual. Hearing from the perspective of a person with such intersectional experiences was eye-opening, and well worth the listen. He speaks on being an advocate for yourself in a world where people are cruel and misunderstanding of individuals who are disabled, queer, and more. Unlearning and relearning what you've been taught so that you can be inclusive and respectful can be difficult, but Chella Man encourages everyone to do so, in order to be the best advocate they can be.

📖 Continuum by Chella Man Book Review 📖

3rd book of January 2022 and 3rd of the year:

I finally got this Pocket Change Collective book on the library app that I use after waiting so long, and I am so glad I got to read it! I absolutely loved it and found myself going back to re-read/listen to parts of it multiple times, and I highly recommend that everyone pick this up! TW for transphobia, ableism, deadnaming, homophobia, misogyny, bullying, and dysphoria. Have you read this yet? If so, what did you think? Or what are your favorite Pocket Change Collective books?♥️🦻🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Fantastic read about living as a transgender and genderqueer person. Chella's experience living in conservative Pennsylvania is very relatable to mine as someone who grew up in PA and I just loved reading his story. I personally related so much to the parts about his life pre-transition and before discovering his trans identity. The lines about conforming to feminity when you don't have the words and are being dismissed are so real. I really resonated with Chella's story a lot especially in the parts about their childhood, their relationship with clothes and depression. Highly recommend to read this book about intersectionality.
