I really wish there was an updated; post- pandemic, gender-neutral bathroom, Trump era, promotion of trans rights... version that incorporated greater recognition of intersectionality. I loved the contents of this book, but feel like there could be a broader focus on any data bias in the context of non, cishet white-male identit(ies). At points it felt a lot like a pure lit-review, but was informative nonetheless. A great and important read!

zombiezami's review against another edition

Although I was excited for this book and getting lots of interesting and surprising facts from it, some of the turns of phrase struck me as outdated at best and cis-centric/transphobic at worst. Some of these include "female-bodied," saying she considers women to be those with XX chromosomes (fun fact: almost no one checks their chromosomes because it's expensive to do so, so the XX/XY dichotomy is a generalization, even before you get into intersex people existing), and quoting someone who says that "pregnancy is not a gender-neutral event." These statements, plus hearing that the author was British, gave me pause. 

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.
