Before We Were Trans: A New History of Gender by Kit Heyam

challenging informative medium-paced

5.0

Incredibly thoughtful, detailed and informative examination of what gender has meant to different cultures and groups over history. Really made me consider how much of a social and political construct gender can be, and how it's possible to discuss it in a respectful and intriguing way. Kit does such a good job of bringing the figures they're writing about into a broader context, pushing the readers conceptions of gender and identity.
