I received a digital review copy of TSACYBSWP as an opportunity to provide a fair, honest, review.

⚧️ This is non-fiction #OwnVoices by a Transgender/Transsexual woman. Transsexual is how the author identifies; TSACYBSWP DOESN’T use the term in a Transmedicalist way.

⚧️ Imho, this book is inclusive of the entire gender spectrum.

⚧️ TSACYBSWP is about gender IDs, the hidden history of Trans people, and what science actually says about Trans people.

⚧️ Honest, open, and strikes a good balance between sensitive and matter-of-fact.

⚧️ ️Sometimes it felt like it needed tighter focus or more overarching structure — perhaps stronger segues between topics.

⚧️ I recommend this interesting, eloquent, book for anyone wanting to read more about the gender spectrum.
