Critics Review
A well-researched, thoughtful, engaging look at trans and gender-nonconforming people through history and from all around the world. This book is very welcoming to newcomers but full of little gems for those of us who have been reading trans histories for years. Combs and Eakett come from within the trans community, and they also pass the mic to many other trans folks of different ages, races, nationalities, and identities to share non-white and non-Western experiences. A beautiful and compassionate primer!
—Maia Kobabe, author of Gender Queer
