How to Understand Your Gender: A Practical Guide for Exploring Who You Are by Alex Iantaffi, Meg-John Barker

4.0

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.
