What an incredible project. It's impressive how the author was able to compile the contents of these 56 interviews--along with their own personal story--in a way that flows this well and is accessible, interesting and heartfelt. It promotes compassion and truly listening to people, and I feel like I learned so much from it.

Rhea's project to understand gender on a deeper level and unexpected self-examination is a thoughtful, inclusive look at gender and gender experiences. I loved this insightful book. Rhea approaches the subject matter extremely well. This definitely got me thinking many times. It was interesting to read so many people's experiences paird with Rhea's own reflections.

Contains a couple of homophobic slurs, including the f slur, used by one of the interviewees (Ignacio). It makes it clear with a note at the bottom of the page when the content about a suicide attempt is, so you can skip that if needed. Check the full content warnings on the first page.

I think this book is powerful and necessary in the gender conversation, but I think it took on too much and was too long. The author did a good job at trying to highlight the different intersections of gender, and I thought the organization of the chapters was well thought out. However, the jumping between interviewees within specific topics meant that it was hard to follow each individual's "story". Overall, I found this to be an accessible way to consider the topic of gender but I think the execution was a miss for me.

It was a good discussion of gender and I learned a lot (coming from a cisgender woman). It was really interesting to see how other people view their gender versus how I view mine and how similar it was.
