What's the T by Juno Dawson Review
What's the T is a handy guide for teens (and adults!) about being trans/nonbinary, written by Stonewall ambassador and bestselling trans author, Juno Dawson, and is joyfully illustrated by gender non-conforming artist Soofiya.
Juno defines a myriad and labels and identities and offers uncensored advice on coming out, sex, and relationships with her trademark humor and lightness of touch.
Juno also invited many trans and nonbinary friends to write pieces for this book too, and between each chapter are contributions from different people about their own experiences and views on being trans/nonbinary.
I read this book in one sitting and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I loved it. This brilliant guide is informative and well written for teens and adults alike. Within the book, the author answers some questions from trans and cis people and includes a section for cis allies to better understand what their trans friends/family are going through and how to be supportive, which I thought was a lovely touch.
The back of the book has several pages of glossary, which includes defining many other LGBTQIA labels and terms, including asexual, aromantic, and agender, which aren’t often included, and, as an agender aroace, made me very happy to see.
What’s the T has lots of advice for anyone questioning their gender, or just wanting to know more about what it means to be trans and presents it in a fun and entertaining way, while still being able to convey the seriousness of the challenges trans people face in the twenty-first century.
With sections dedicated to coming out, passing or not, choosing a name, pronouns, puberty, legal stuff, and dealing with transphobia from being a teen right into adulthood, this book answers all of your questions and then some. The book also covers the history of the transgender identity and features profiles of famous trans people, like Janet Mock, Chaz Bono, Laverne Cox, Alex Bertie, and more.
Similar to its companion book ‘This Book is Gay’, What’s the T has been hailed as the must-have handbook for everything trans to help young people and adults understand what it means to be trans and how to be a good ally. After reading this, I absolutely have to pick up a copy of This Book is Gay!
With her own experiences and those of others from across the spectrum of trans identities, this book will help trans and cis people to understand a little more about the confusing world of gender identity. I highly recommend to anyone and everyone. It was such a fun, easy read with illustrations throughout by Soofiya, who also included their own experiences via a short comic.
