It's very statistic heavy, and relentless, but a must read imo.

zombiezami's review against another edition
I searched the author online and found that she had said some transphobic dogwhistles that she erased rather than apologizing for. Aside from this, her solutions to various issues such as sexual violence seem focused on carcerality. Even if the author had said, "I'm focusing on cis women because that's what data I have," that would have been a bit more excusable, but I don't feel good about continuing to read this.

I have some serious issues with its very binary and cis centered language as well as the way it brushes over a lot of the differences within the groups of both (cis) men and women in a way that I don't think is helpful.
In some parts that distinction may be more superficial but in some parts it REALLY isn't because there is a huge difference for example between a medical issue going underdiagnosed because of the way people are socialized and biological differences in presentation. Even within biological differences there is the question of hormone levels vs average physical presentation for example.
All of these are massively affected by being a cis woman of course! I'm not claiming that the root cause of the issues named here is not sexism. But its also affected by certain disabilities, medical treatments (not just medical transition), ethnicity and probably a host of other factors I can't think of spontaneously. And sometimes they happen to apply to cis men even.
And of course part of the point is that some of this information is lacking because we're not doing the scientific studies but then say that! And in some instances we do know or have information that suggests directions and those are ignored by the author.
These are not just superficial concerns there are specific suggestions for solutions targeted towards women in this book that could be targeted more precisely and more helpfully by looking at who precisely is the group affected.
