The Gender Friend by Oakley Phoenix

5.0

 I absolutely loved this book! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for letting me have an advanced copy. This book is so accessible in the language and is also kind. Kind not just to transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary folks (TGNCNB for short) but also to loved ones wanting to support their TGNCNB loved ones. I can't stress enough I can see someone really trying but it's not always easy. If someone is truly trying and caring I don't want them to feel like it doesn't matter or that they are awful if they mess up. Mistakes happen. Trying is what matters and you'll get there. I am a nonbinary trans person and it's generally easy to tell who cares and is trying versus the ones that aren't. This book is like a hug from a kind friend. It explains gender related thing, answer questions, etc. I am going to have to buy this book when it comes out so I can give it to loved ones. :)
