I found this to be a tremendously helpful resource, recommended to me by my therapist. Thanks to them.💚 This book was gentle and careful, and gave many helpful and expansive tools for reflection.

The ONLY detraction from a full 5⭐ is that the text referred too often for my preference to what was coming or already mentioned in previous and later sections. Such a minute gripe.

When writing about queer/gender related experiences especially in nonfiction a lot can go wrong. I have read books where the author downplays experiences, writes using overcomplicated terms making it hard to understand, spread misinformation, etc... This is one of the few books which to my experience/knowledge hasn't done.

I would recommend this book to others. I do believe that people can still learn from reading this book even if they are a 100% sure about their gender. This book doesn't only show you how to explore gender but also has information on how intersectionality affects it. A lot of people tend to underestimate the effect this can have whether it's disability, ethnicity, class, etc... it is all more complex than it seems.
