The T in LGBT: Everything You Need to Know About Being Trans by Jamie Raines

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Wherever you’re at in your journey, no matter how difficult things have been, or currently are, know that you deserve to experience peace and happiness in your identity, and you will! You deserve acceptance, respect, and to live life as your true self.

Pride month is just around the corner, and this book is a perfect read for all LGBT+ and allies alike!

The trans experience is such a unique and important experience to share. I am privileged to have access to books like this that break down all the personal details that go into transitioning. I especially appreciate the chapters on gender and body dysmorphia. Many can relate, even if only a little, to that feeling of not quite fitting in. The trans experience is valuable to all, and can pave the way for a world where gender is a spectrum and an expression, not rigid rules to follow.

It’s our responsibility to be as educated as possible to help support our fellow trans communities. This book is a great introduction to do just that.

I highly recommend it! Support trans voices!

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this ARC.
