Uncomfortable Labels: My Life as a Gay Autistic Trans Woman by Laura Kate Dale

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Such an interesting book to me. Gender dysphoria and autism have a lot of overlap in my own life at the moment, and having the perspective of someone who's had to deal with both and is at a more confident stage in their life is incredibly valuable. It is definitely pitched to be accessible to those unfamiliar with LGBT culture and autism, which while absolutely the right move makes certain sections less interesting as they go over things I'm already familiar with. But as I expected this is simultaneously joyous and tragic and in the end hopeful to the point of inspiration to me. I wish there were more perspectives like this out there.
