Gender Madness: One Man's Devastating Struggle with Woke Ideology and His Battle to Protect Children by Oli London
informative
slow-paced
0.75
It is clear that I am not the intended audience for Oli London's book, given our conflicting views. However, I believe it is still important to try and understand different perspectives.
Through the book, we can see how Christianity influenced him, which also heavily influenced his style of writing. How thought his life went from volunteering in Etiopie to k pop singer to now Christian men. When I asked someone who had read the book, they weren't sure if it was a joke or not. After finishing it, I can see why they wondered because the author tries to attempt to connect things and situations, which are not associated with the trans community, and the writing style is at times confusing as if it is meant to be a parody.
I am pretty sure that this book will reach an intended audience that will enjoy far more that me.

I found the second book much more enjoyable than the first. I particularly enjoyed the topic of megachurches and how Lincon and Tehlar were pretending. I appreciated the chemistry between the main characters, even though they didn't like each other, they worked together incredibly well.

Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen
informative
medium-paced
4.5
Ace was an informative read and a chance to dive deeper into an experience that isn’t my own. Each chapter's author works with multiple topics around asexuality or aromanticism.
One of the things that I never thought about so much before the book was how sex has a deep connection with gender and how things change when comes to nonbinary or trans people.
Autor also explores relationships between allosexual and asexual individuals through various personal stories and examples.
