What's the T? The Guide to All Things Trans and/or Nonbinary by Juno Dawson, Soofiya
3.75
This is an introductory transgender 101 book. I would definitely recommend this book for folks figuring out their gender identity and early in their transition, cisgender people, relatives and friends of a binary trans person, and allies who want to learn how to support trans people. It’s easy to read and has plenty of resources and research articles littered throughout which is wonderful! I will certainly add this as a resource despite my cons listed below.
Cons: Although the title suggests the discussion would be on nonbinary folks as well…it isn’t…nonbinary identities appear to be an afterthought. In reality this book is mainly about binary trans folks.
If you are trying to learn more about nonbinary identities this is NOT the book!!
Another con: I don’t like how Juno discusses asexuality (when it is brought up) a little more research and discussions with people on the ace spectrum would have gone a long way. In all honesty, Juno very much generalizes and added to the misinformation floating around.
