All of the “graphic” tags are in the context of “historian telling you events that happened and the causes and consequences of them “. They can still be disturbing. The chapter “The Difficult Decades” (referring to the 70s and 80s)was notably a hard one for me due to descriptions of transphobia, transmisogyny, HIV, and death. Also none of these tags are perpetrated by the author to my knowledge, only ever described.ignatzv's review against another edition

It was excellent though, I learnt some stuff, realized TERFs have been using the same tired arguments for way longer than I thought, and it deepened my pride and determination as a queer activist and LGBT+ centre volunteer. I WISH there were queer history books about French queer history but I can't really find any, so I'll read all the US and UK one instead.
Overall excellent and informative, but the first 40-pages chapter full of definitions made me put it down for a while. It's also very academic so not a *good* time or *fun* time but it's full of information. I knew about a decent number of events mentionned because of assignements I did on US queer history but I still learnt stuff especially since I'm young and it's not my country's politics.
