Though I already have some personal experience in using and identifying with they/them pronouns, I am so glad that I picked this book up. It felt more validating than anything, knowing that books like this are being made in order to make sure that those who use they/them pronouns are understood and treated with respect. The appeal of this book comes from its quick and simple way of defining and executing this information without weighing it down with textbook definitions. It feels more like a conversation than a lecture, which I always appreciate in any nonfiction work. The personalities of the two authors come in super clear and add a bit of charm to the work. I would recommend it to anyone looking for information on how to refer to those who use they/them pronouns, as well as how to navigate certain situations like misgendering or making assumptions based on names or outward appearances. I would even recommend to those who use they/them pronouns, as it also is a heavily validating work and gives some information on how to maintain relationships with people who may or may not accept their identities. It's not a purely exhaustive take on the subject, but succeeds in its mission to serve as a to-the-point and accessible guide.
