Gender Queer

3.5 /5 stars
There were many parts that spoke to me, but there were also some that left me conflicted, making this book difficult to finish. Given how controversial this book is, I expected something more contentious. It was not particularly contentious; in fact, it was rather mundane. The author talked about their childhood experiences. The majority of the time, I felt like I was intruding too much into the author's personal life, but that could be because I have never read memoirs before, so I am not sure if that is how you are supposed to feel while reading them. This wasn't particularly for me, but I understand that a lot of people need a book like this. It can be extremely beneficial and validating if you are still figuring out who you are.
