The Gender Games by Juno Dawson

Description

"As her body gets in line with her mind, Juno tells not only her own story, but the story of everyone who is shaped by society's expectations of gender - and what we can do about it. Featuring insights from well-known gender, feminist and trans activists including Rebecca Root, Laura Bates, Gemma Cairney, Anthony Anaxagorou, Hannah Witton, Alaska Thunderfuck and many more, The Gender Games is a frank, witty and powerful manifesto for a world in which everyone can truly be themselves."--From show more jacket. show less

This is a great book, Juno's audio reading is amicable, she is a great writer, and this would be easily approachable for anyone - even young people. Also, this would be a great book for anyone who isn't yet educated/enlightened on the trans experience, or modern feminism. I felt like I, personally, didn't learn anything new with this book because I have already read a lot of non-fiction in these areas. It was enjoyable though, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.
