The Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care by Zena Sharman

informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

I really liked the way this book was put together. The essays were all different but thorough and all reflected some personal experience in dealing with health care as an individual within the LGBTQIA+ community. As a member myself, I found that there were many points that I identified with in terms of the worries that cross my mind and how those concerns relate to health care. There are also a few poems, a full comic, and several Q and A sessions with people who have developed resources for the LGBTQIA+ community to help them get the health care they need. There are some instances where the terminology, in terms of the health care field, got away from me a bit and I had to take a moment to look them up which isn't a big deal but should be noted. Still, I feel like I learned so much and I also got to read so many stories from people like me which makes me feel that our community can be heard and strive for better in getting the care we need.
