The book is written in academia, which I can't really read. I got about 40 pages in and realized I hadn't understood the point of nearly anything I read.

It's another book written by white cisgender people using the background and teachings and interviews of BIPOC. I'd rather just read things written by BIPOC than read an interpretation viewed through the white gaze. I'm really, really appreciative that the authors divulged that information in the Introduction so I could make that choice.
