He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters by Schuyler Bailar

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

 He/She/They is an excellent introduction to gender, transness, and how we can all support the trans community. Because trans issues touch on such a broad front of subjects, there was quite a lot of ground for this book to cover — psychology, history, medicine, politics — and I think it managed that handily. The tone is personal, almost conversational, and is very effective for the delivery of the material. There are plenty of questions that trans people are asked, often inappropriately, which I think can be answered in this book instead.

I believe this is a book with a wide potential audience. Trans and queer people can read this, parents and educators of trans people can read this, people existing in our society which includes trans people in it can read this, and I believe all can finish it having gained something meaningful from the experience. I definitely recommend this book.

My thanks to Hachette Go and NetGalley for providing an advanced reader copy.
