As the title implies, this is a beautifully illustrated guide that helps to explain the complexities that are the spectrum of gender and sex. I can see this being a book many may wish to reach to both to aid in their own exploration of their gender etc as well as to help those comprehend the often emotionally draining and hard journey one goes one whether that be as a nonbinary person like myself, or transgender etcetera.

Communication and comprehension I think has become difficult as of late to try to prevent another of the confusion, fear and sadly hatred those whose gender differs from their sex suffer from and books such as this by Louis Läuger are essential. I can only begin to imagine how much easier my own journey would have been if there had been books out there to both help me understand what I was feeling, and to show me I wasn't alone.

My only concern with Rethinking Gender: An Illustrated Exploration is that I think it can be a little overwhelming and perhaps this will work alongside some more basic books that explain gender versus sex in a more simplified manner. Especially if you are beginning your journey or trying to help others with understanding how or what you or they may be feeling? Don't feel rushed to know everything, taking your time is paramount and I think taking it slow with this book is a necessity.

This will work well as a companion book to others that our out there or after you have begun to learn and understand the concepts of gender versus sex and where you feel you belong - but no matter what? You are not alone.
