informative
medium-paced
3.5
With the exception of quoting others, the language chosen by the author is cisheteronormative, and almost exclusively describes experiences of cisgender women.
This was a bit of a let down for a book that was otherwise intersectional, as it failed to share/reflect on how many of the topics discussed also impact trans people, and not just people who were assigned female at birth (including trans men, trans women, nonbinary folks, two-spirit people, agender people, gender nonconforming folks, and everyone else whose gender resides outside of the gender binary).
