Wonderfully informative. It's very nice to read a gender non-conforming person's opinions on public debates about the gender binary when we usually hear about this topic from individuals who have not experienced what being gender non-conforming is like. The book explains and dismantles the most common arguments in this debate. I can recommend this book for anyone wishing to learn about the perspective of gender non-conforming people from an authentic source. It portrays and explains the lived experiences of people outside of the gender binary so that anyone making the effort will understand. Very good read!
