And 20 Other Myths and Misconceptions About Transgender and Gender-Nonconforming People DISCLAIMER: I haven't read the entire book yet, for it has been more of a skim, but am eager to start taking notes. My mom gave this to me to get an opinion of whether she should ask to get it for the school she works at or not. A mighty conservative school, mind you. I am saying yes, it is an important topic of conversation that shouldn’t be ignored because ignorance gets you nowhere. The book wasn’t presenting an opinion. I only saw facts backed up with solid references. It explored questions that shouldn’t be shameful to have, as long as you educate yourself. It doesn’t lecture you because only you can act on information given to you. As a trans* person, I felt the book was accurate and gave a warm view of the community. There are far too many articles and columns that are mad at you for being transphobic in ways you may not have realized you were. That anger gets us nowhere, while it is understandable, and the only thing is to read and read and move on. The prose was calm, howbeit, still giving a strong voice to the minority and exerting appropriate exigency. I felt that it has a range of information to offer from new eyes on the questions to people who see themselves well-versed. I will be delving in further and recommend you do as well.
