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.

booksmellers's review against another edition

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

This was a really interesting look into the diverse identities and expressions experienced across a variety of people. I especially appreciated the perspectives of older trans people, because they are not a demographic I've heard from very often. This book covers gender identity in a pretty complex way and also explores various issues that effect the trans community, such as healthcare, housing, and community support. It covers a span of quite a few years as well, so it was interesting to see how the language somewhat changed and evolved since Ewing began these interviews. 

I really liked how the author weaved their personal gender discovery and exploration into the narrative. This book felt unique in that it did follow one narrator, but the reoccurring people they interviewed were also complex supporting characters; it felt like watching a documentary. 

Thank you, NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
