I’d highly recommend audiobook for this. I think it would have been harder to enjoy as text because it is a bit dense, very statistic heavy, and quite frankly overwhelming. That being said, this was important & eye opening! Some things I knew, many things I learned. This world was not designed for us!

This book definitely changed the way I view the world, but it does have problems. Choosing to view the world as binary completely erases intersex, trans, and nongendered experiences which are even MORE invisible than the book describes. It also needlessly excludes men from many issues raised which would strengthen a lot of her claims (as frustrating as that is). 

I was quite surprised to realize this was written in 2019. It felt behind on many social issues and failed to include the full context behind the little solutions offered. Each chapter was just a reiteration of the previous, which does drive home the frustration factor of losing this data, but left me feeling annoyed and wishing to "get to a point"

I would still recommend this book, especially since it made me confront a lot of unconscious bias I had in myself; however, lots of discussion and further resources would be almost required
