This book was informative and enlightening. I learned a lot about myself because I share characteristics with a lot of the interviewees. If you are trans and autistic, this might be a helpful read.
However, I did not love the way it was written. The authors take a very calculated approach. While this might be an enjoyable and comfortably predictable reading experience for some, I found it to be a bit stale and lacking emotion. I wished that the authors would have allowed the interviewees to speak in their own voices, rather than writing in third person.
Still a great resource for those wanting to know more about transgender and autistic people.

This book was really fascinating! As a trans and autistic person into research I was perhaps uniquely qualified to like it and indeed I need. I felt reaffirmed in my trans and autistic identities as I found commonalities with the participants of the study and want to read more on autism and transness now. It did feel a bit tedious at points though, as such a book tends to be .
