I thought this was a really great primer that I could see being prescribed for sixth-form leavers to get them ready for critical thinking. It takes very complex concepts and breaks them down into their simplest forms without being overly reductive, and presents as balanced an image as possible by frequently exploring potential responses. Great queer philosophy for the initiated and uninitiated alike!
Graphic: Misogyny and Sexism
Moderate: Ableism, Body shaming, and Racism
Minor: Classism, Dysphoria, and Outing
