The Gender Games: The problem with men and women, from someone who has been both | 
pickThis is Dawson memoir about her transition from male to female and her journey there. It‘s also about the expectations we have to boys and girls from the day we are born (or sooner), and how destructive those can be if you don‘t fit into your label. And how we should all be better at accepting people just the way they are
For some reason #fixyou reminded me of the subtitle of this book. #AnglophileApril @Cinfhen @Mdargusch @Reviewsbylola @emilyhaldi
pickThis is really, really good. This is the book I‘m going to be recommending to people who don‘t understand why toxic masculinity is a thing or who get their knickers in a twist about trans people‘s bathroom rights. Smart, frank, clever, informative.
It was announced today that Benedict Cumberbatch‘s production company has optioned this for a TV series so of course it‘s jumped straight to the top of the tbr pile!
pickJuno Dawson is an award-winning YA author who in 2015 announced her transition as a transgender woman and in this funny, sharply observed, magnificently sweary and seriously thought-provoking book that‘s part memoir and partly a critique of modern society and its gender expectations, she picks apart what gender means and what people can do about it. This isn‘t a book aimed at a YA audience, but it should be read by everyone.
pick#Femmeuary Juno Dawson is a writer and a transwoman. This book is a discussion, education and consideration of gender politics and labels. I found it a fascinating read as a ciswoman and feminist so many things I had not considered.

pickI completely forgot to post my review of this book I finished last week. I enjoyed it quite a lot, especially the second half. Dawson had a lot of interesting insights and thoughts I had never even thought about. Also, the audiobook was great 👏
pickPart memoir and part social study/commentary. This is a fantastic, engaging and thought inducing look at gender, sex, sexuality and all the things in between that cause so much kerfuffle. I found it brilliantly direct, it made me understand something's I'd been puzzled about and left me feeling empowered as a person. I want it to do that for anyone who reads it. And you should read it, whatever you gender, sex or sexuality.
