challenging emotional informative fast-paced

5.0

The 5 star is because I really can't fault it for what it is. Obviously it's tiny and I want now, but it's meant to be small and approachable, so I'm done with that. Knowing that, I think it was a good mix of some personal info and presenting what should be basic information in a digestible way. It didn't read like a reference book which is really what it is because Vaid-Menon has such a strong, beautiful voice. I also really appreciated the metaphors and other ways of explaining concepts that were fresh and clear while also not being offensive for people who would most need to read this book. Not that they will but hey some might!

A great, short, helpful, accessible, and informative read. I read the ebook along with the audiobook, which was read by the author.

A short and succinct primer. I wish it was more in-depth but it's worth a read if you're looking for a basic understanding of non-binary and gender non-conforming people, and how the social construct of a gender binary limits and harms all of us.

outcrye's review against another edition

informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

3.5

A little too fast-paced for me, and the writing style (particularly the constant cutting up of sentences) distracted me a lot. 

A good introduction though, and as someone nonbinary, the section about normal vs normativity was still thought-provoking.
