Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen
informative
reflective
slow-paced
4.0
A very interesting read.
There were parts I needed to hear, parts I didn’t quite like how they were worded, parts where I hoped for more perspectives, and parts that gave me new perspectives.
Overall, it made me think. It made me consider things and made me curious. It made me reconsider things I saw as settled and it opened ideas which I hadn’t thought about before.
Especially studying to become a therapist this was very valuable to take with me. But even more so, it was valuable to me as an ace person
