A very thought provoking collection. I really enjoyed reading the writers’ stories and how they connected these with systems of oppression and their identity as a whole.

In particular I’ve taken away a lot of key learnings around intersectionality and yet another area of ongoing colonialism that impacts everyone, but especially First Nations people in Australia.

It was disappointing to read one of the authors disparaging identity markers that are very important to a different generation of queer kids. We can disagree without needing to condescend to other people’s understandings of identity.
