Gender Rebels: 50 Influential Cross-Dressers, Impersonators, Name-Changers, and Game-Changers by Anneka Harry
Did not finish book.
This book is everything I would normally love, and at least it is a list of fascinating people to research further. The book itself however? Extremely disappointing and so frustrating to listen to. I listened to the audiobook narrated by the author herself, Maya Jama, Suranne Jones and Gemma Cairney, and the narrators do a decent job with what is very poor material.
The author sounds like someone trying to use modern slang without actually understanding it, and insists on giving the people "cool" nicknames which in my opinion frequently came across as disrespectful. A lot of the time there was barely any information about the actual person, which was extremely disappointing.
In the end I gave up half-way through as I found myself getting too frustrated with the content.
*I received a free copy through Netgalley, but the review is my own opinion*
