“Always important to keep up on my queer history. This book is a great intro for anyone not already familiar or a part of the community and a great reminder for those of us who are. I also love the global perspective, educating us on trans people outside of just North America or the U.S.A. specifically and recognizing their contributions to LGBTQIA+ rights and acceptance in their own communities. The artwork is amazing as well.
Overall, queer, educational, and beautiful❤️”
