"... the most practical and accessible guide for trans inclusion I have ever read. ...If you are interested in learning more about supporting trans people in your family, your workplace, your school, your community and the world, but you only have time to read one book, read this one." - Tobias K. Davis, Playwright, Novelist, Activist
