Gender Is Really Strange by Teddy G. Goetz

informative medium-paced

5.0

I haven't read any of the other "Really Strange" books, but now I'm interested in them! It was a short and beautifully illustrated guide that still managed to cover a wide variety of topics. It discussed the etymology of gender, how colonialism affected gender and gender roles, the medical side of gender/sex, and what to do if you're struggling with your gender identity. It did well at explaining each of the topics while giving pointers of where to research first. It's like baby's first gender analysis when Judith Butler is far too difficult. The art style was what originally caught my eye and it was consistently beautiful throughout. I absolutely recommend this to anyone interested in the biopsychosocial elements of gender.

I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
