He/She/They: How We Talk About Gender and Why It Matters by Schuyler Bailar
1 review
rach_fornow's review against another edition
funny
informative
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
pairs well w/ 🍷: Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok V Menon. Menon's book was more of a pamphlet and geared toward queer youth, this one is longer and geared toward an adult audience of allies or potential allies.
I really enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot about talking to people who are learning about transness (from the ones who are just little kids and very open to the adults who are bringing in their transphobia).
I appreciated the mix of his own experience and his knowledge of the subject and the balance of that.
I did wonder about him getting called out for anti-Black racism bc it sounds like he figured out he was wrong and apologized. But then again it's from his perspective so idk and have yet to look it up.
I definitely will be recommending this book to Mom and other family members who need to work on their transphobia.
