He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters by Schuyler Bailar
5.0
Identities are complex and it takes time to understand because so many people experience the same world so differently. It is not quick or easy and we are all going to make mistakes. I don't think I will ever stop having more to learn because humans are always evolving. I am ready and willing to keep learning and growing.
This book was a helpful resource to educate myself and to learn more about someone else's lived experiences that are different than my own. Schuyler really tries to advocate for a whole community, but he is one person with his own perspectives and this book also represents a snapshot in time. However, I found that even though we have different identities and experiences, I could relate to some things he said. We're human and we deserve safety and care. I think that sentiment is timeless.
This particular book was written for people who are not trans, looking to better understand people who are.
There are other books to read if you want to read about other people's experiences and you can find a lot of them on the list of commonly
challenged/banned books.
