ufollowbooks's review against another edition
quite a few insightful reads, but i just lost interest, as most of the things described are fairly basic and turns out i want to read about intersection of my identities, not just one part of me

A really interesting and diverse collection of essays. I learnt a lot about areas of the queer community that I’m somewhat ignorant on, particularly the issues lgbtqia+ people face in differ countries. This book highlights the need to stand up for the most vulnerable people in our community while also providing hope and thinking points. I definitely wrote a lot of notes and an excited to talk about this book at my queer book group and look up some of the authors for further reading.
