ARC given by NetGalley for Honest Review

A well written, factual account on different experiences in the trans community. I loved learning the different terms for non-binary folk from around the world and love how it worked as a way to make us feel less lonely. 
The illustrations are simple and fun and few in between (I would have loved to see more!) and aided the narrative in an informative way!

I have a small group of teens who are starting to explore gender and their own identities and I can't wait to recommend this title. On par with other wonderful LGBTQ books such as "A Quick Guide to They/Them Pronouns" and "Queer"!

[The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.]

What I liked:
- I love this book so much that I have already pre-ordered a physical copy of it after one chapter!
- Both authors are trans and know what they are talking about.
- The book is full of cute illustrations.
- I loved the list of nonbinary genders in other cultures!
- There are many diary entries by trans and nonbinary teens.
- The word definitions and info boxes were very helpful.
- At the end of each chapter there's a list of additional resources.
- The book talks about so many important topics: what is gender, gender dysphoria, coming out, bodies, transitioning, relationships, sex, family...

What I didn't like:
- I wish there was a bit more about questioning your gender. I would recommend this book to people who already know that they are trans.

This is one of my favorite trans books ever!
