Leading activist and essayist Brynn Tannehill tells you everything you ever wanted to know about transgender issues but were afraid to ask. The book aims to break down deeply held misconceptions about trans people across all aspects of life, from politics, law and culture, through to science, religion and mental health, to provide readers with a deeper understanding of what it means to be trans.The book walks the reader through transgender issues, starting with'What does transgender mean?'before moving on to more complex topics including growing up trans, dating and sex, medical and mental health, and debates around gender and feminism. Brynn also challenges deliberately deceptive information about transgender people being put out into the public sphere. Transphobic myths are debunked and biased research, bad statistics and bad science are carefully and clearly refuted.This important and engaging book enables any reader to become informed the most critical public conversations around transgender people, and become a better ally as a result.

There is a fair amount of repetition, but frankly I appreciated it because there's so much information overall. Each chapter covers another aspect of life (law, "(bad) science," media and popular culture, military, medicine/mental health, etc.) and Tannehill is thorough. I highly recommend it for everyone who is new to the concept of transgenderism all the way to people with moderate knowledge. I'd even go so far as to say that individual chapters can be informative for people who already know a lot. ( )
