This book was a bitch to go through because the topics tackled there were so complicated and hard to swallow, but it is brilliant. What I love most about books is how they expose me to different perspectives, put me into the head of people completely different from me so in result I start looking at the world around me through their eyes. The problems I’ve never considered to even exist now mount to the size of existential dilemmas and life-or-death situations. 
This book goes through everything starting with gender identity, trans experience, through motherhood, femalehood, feminism, to class and race differences and how it all intersects. Definitely the best book I’ve read this year so far
