A Quick & Easy Guide to Queer & Trans Identities by Mady G., J.R. Zuckerberg
5.0
I was given a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
5 ⭐️
An excellent guide to sexual and gender orientations. The pictures were cute and the snails were a nice touch, as were the Sproutlings.
The chapters looked a bit like they jumped from one subject to another. I think all the sexual orientation bits should have been after the gender orientation ones, so as to flow better into the asexual and relationship chapters. I also believe a bit more depth (such as an entire chapter) on romantic orientation would have been welcome.
The book in itself is not exactly and introduction. You have to already be aware of some of the terms that come with the LGBT+ world to completely understand this work. Also, the use of LGBTQ is exclusive to people who don't identify with the first 4 letters and don't accept the word "queer" to describe themselves. I believe a constant use of LGBT+ or LGBTQ+ (such as used in the outro) would have been better.
It's a little gem in itself and the activities at the end make this book a keeper, especially for teenagers and young people in general who might be coming to terms with who they are. And a good way to educate people in general as to what is LGBT+
