I‘m giving this one a pick because it has 2 new pieces of info, & I think it‘s a good basic guide for people to start with if they want to learn. For me, & probably most Littens, it may be too basic. Interesting chapters were 3 &4, when she explains the stages of coming out & scales available that allows us to identify orientation, gender, gender expression, & attraction. Less than 6 hrs on audio, less than 200 pages.
