livsliterarynook 's review for:
I really enjoyed this book.
I have only recently stumbled across Juno Dawson as an author as I heard on a podcast about her new book Meat Market which is a book I intend to read.
However, I knew nothing about Juno at this point and only when stumbling across this book (as I was very intrigued by the title), did I find out that Juno was a trans woman.
I think she offers lots of interesting observations, arguments and particularly on the points of gender, childhood and the way as a society we engage with gender did she make some really important points.
I don't agree with her views on women's magazines offering good things as I think they are still far too focused on celeb culture, stereotypes, diets, image etc. However, overall I think everything Juno writes about is really important.
The book worked really well as both a memoir/feminist text on gender and sexuality.
I learnt a lot about trans women and the LGBTQ+ community and it made me realize I don't really read/listen/watch many things related to the LGBTQ+ community and has made me interested to find more cultural things.
Would recommend to everyone interested in gender, feminism and personal memoirs.
