Every time I feel like I know myself and I understand my identities, I find another a-spec writer/scholar who explains something about myself or my experience that I didn't realize I was self-conscious about, or feeling badly about, and something in me heals to know that it is normal - just by an alternate definition. Having representation, especially self representation of the a-spec experience is wonderful. I'm so happy that there are more books on the subject, by a-spec authors coming out!

Also heads up for discussion of the bigotry faced by a-spec individuals and how that experience differs based on intersectional identities and other marginalizing factors.litwithnick's review
Typically attractice, white, cishet women have no place talking about trans issues. Good going on out yourselves as terf apologetics. Fuck right off and stick your wands where the sun don’t shine.
No idea why a section on gender was even included in the
book. Gender ≠ Sexuality.

I can't say everything I want to, because that would take a long time, but this book made me feel so validated, and made me realize that this is a much bigger part of my life than I ever could have expected it to be.
