A review by rissasreading
Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation by S. Bear Bergman, Kate Bornstein

5.0

I really enjoyed reading this through. I love that there was such a huge collection of people with so many different backgrounds. This book talks about issues facing the LGBTQIA2+ community in forms of, state violence, hatred, fear, labels, terminology, and the unintended impacts of people, and society as a whole. I wish I had this book when I was younger as not only did it talk about issues facing the trans community, but it also centered on mental health. My favorite story of this collection being "Taking Up Space". I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to learn more about trans issues, and lives, as well as those who already are a part of the community and conversations just to hear from different people on their loved experience.
TWs: mention of eating disorders, sexual assault & harrassment, homophobia, and slurs (never used in a malicious way mostly to reclaim the words but some people may find it triggering to read on the page)
