Very informative and an easy read despite being so statistic-heavy. Interspersed with a good amount of humour to lighten the depressing nature of the topic. I think in some places it lost me because the "fixing the data gap" solution rang a bit hollow when you comprehend the vastness of the problem. And as other reviews point out, there was a lack of discussion of trans identities...
PS -- interesting to read this in the run up to the 2024 American election, as Kamala Harris makes a quick appearance in the book!
