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

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

solid and detailed history of gender experiences and gender non-conformity throughout history and cultures. highly nuanced but still very readable for many levels of prior knowledge

i really like how both theory and historically grounded the chapters were and how they didn't center the white, secular, trans experience (which i feel like much of the nonfiction trans reading rep does)
