Thank you to Netgalley for providing me an ARC. 'Am I Trans Enough' is an honest, insightful look into what it means to be Trans in a cis-normative society. The book invites readers to examine their gender in a meaningful way that goes beyond "Did you play with barbies as a kid? Congrats! You're a girl!" If you're in the beginning stages of questioning, or wanting to support someone who is, I recommend giving this a read.
