This book is amazing!
I think it's massively important to acknowledge the intersectionality of queer identities and autism. It's a demographic not widely spoken about, or heavily misunderstood and even demonised. I felt that Laura hit all the right notes when speaking on how transgender people with autism are treated in society. Even though this book is now a few years old, it's very applicable to current issues still, which only shows we still have issues to tackle.
As a autistic transgender man I found this book highly relatable, it also gave me lots of hope despite some of the negative themes in it.
It's a very accessible read, with easy to understand language and easy font.
This isn't the first book I've read by Laura Dale Kate, having first read Gender Euphoria, which meant when I saw this book on the library bookshelf I knew I was in for a great read. She is a fantastic writer and if I ever find another one of her books I'd happily pick it up in a heartbeat.
