Sara Codair's review

Feb 23, 2019

it was amazing

bookshelves: potential-comp-1-reads, lgbtq, nonfiction, nonbinary

I'll write a longer, more detailed review soon, but for now, I'll say that this is a collection of moving, well-written essays that not only validated my identity as a non-binary person, but boosted all types of non-binary voices.

40.0% "The one piece of my identity that I haven't seen represented in this book is an afab nonbinary person who has never been attracted to girls. The narratives in here that do touch on sexuality often show being attracted to women as part of the process of discovering identity. But what of us who have never felt that who still are neither woman nor man? Are we still valid nonbinary people?"
