informative reflective medium-paced

Rhea Ewing sets out to answer questions about their own gender by asking others questions about theirs.

As a queer person I found this book to be informative. I like how accounts that contrasted or sometimes completely contradicted each other were often placed right next to each other. It's a little messy but gender discussions tend to be messy. I appreciated Ewing acknowledged some of their own bias/privilege/shortcomings (like how they just hadn't thought about the intersectionallity between race/ethnicity and gender. My favorite part was were Jac was talking about the importance of developing language and there were the panels that blacked out some of the words; BRILLIANT.

I think this would not be the first book I would give someone if they were trying to learn about transgender people and issues or gender. This would be around the third book I would give them.
