A review by bladelikesbooks
My Culture, My Gender, Me by Cassandra Jules Corrigan

fast-paced

5.0

Children’s NonFiction that introduces the reader to a variety of different gender identities specific to countries/cultures/religions. 

Thank you to NetGalley for the eARC of this book. This is my honest review:

A great introduction to learning some of the many different gender identities that exist. I loved the art style and I loved the diversity of genders. There were a lot of gender identities in here that I had never heard of so it’d be nice to do my own further research on each. 

The author is genderqueer herself and has put a lot of research into the book and I do appreciate him being very transparent about their being a White American. I think the only way to make this book better would have been to include interviews by real-life people who identify with the genders mentioned in this book. 

Overall, I think they did a good a job and I look forward to checking out some of his other works.
