emily_journals's review against another edition
emotional
informative
inspiring
reflective
fast-paced
No star rating for this one as I don't rate memoirs and this book felt close enough to a memoir that I didn't want to give this one a rating.
This is partly a set of interviews with a variety of individuals on their opinions on and experiences with gender and partly the author grapping with their own gender identity. The opinions and experiences were interesting to read, but I don't think I personally learned anything (which is fine). It did feel a little disorganized and aimless since it isn't really trying to prove a point, but I would still recommend it as an interesting read.

overall i think it really was just fine. the last two chapters were really good, but the rest of the book just dragged without a super defined story line or objective. it also felt like there was almost too much information. cool to see so many different thoughts on relevant topics to the trans community but the story telling wasn't nearly as effective as other trans comics

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing a physical copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! I’m honestly so grateful to even be given the opportunity to review this wonderful book.
Let me preface this by saying I don’t read nonfiction books. Ever. And this is the first graphic novel I’ve read. But despite all that, this was definitely educational and eye-opening for me. As someone who didn’t have to go through many of these experiences, it was really amazing to see the issues and topics covered in this book. It’s super informative, diverse, and thought-provoking, and I’m extremely happy this book stumbled across my way.
