Overall really interesting and I agreed with/liked a lot of her points. There were a few places where I found her writing to be unclear, and a few places where I disagreed. I did also feel it dragged on a little towards the end.

Serano weaves together personal anecdotes and deep research into a compelling argument on the way that societal perceptions allow sexualization to happen and how we can transcend these mindsets to fight back against the negativity faced by so many groups. Reading this has already changed the way that I think and allows me to notice just how prevalent these mindsets are, and how we need to work together as a whole to overcome them.

Brilliant. As a queer & nb person I spent a lot of this book going, "oh... I've never thought about this, but that makes so much sense!" Etc etc. Julia Serano is also really funny and lets her sense of humor loose a little harder in the final chapter, which was fun.
