An engaging and fascinating journey looking at people who ignored, challenged or broke through gender barriers throughout history. I loved that this one was narrated by the author as you could really hear their passion for trans history. I also appreciated that they avoided making big sweeping generalisations. I can understand why some readers might find this frustrating, as often it felt like no concrete conclusions could be drawn - but can they ever?? History is often so one-sided, with nuance lost to the years. The idea that figures from history can ‘belong’ to different groups of people (as in, lesbian history and nonbinary history) is a comforting one. My only complaint was my own choice of format, as it jumps around quite a lot and all the figures were hard to keep track of via audio - print may have been a better choice!
