The strength of this book for those of us in the community is in the back half. At that point we get a mesmerizing narrative of the author’s journey as well as a photo project of trans people who talk about what being trans means to them. The first half is good, too. The information is sound. However, I felt that if someone is a soft ally or not an ally, they may feel too challenged and leave the book. It also is good for people who are questioning their wexuality or gender as there is a lot of information about non-binary sexualities and identities. I think the first half works best as queer experiences 101 reference guide, choosing sections that are most relevant to them and people in their lives.
