On knowing Things
What was amazing about this book is the breakdown of complicated topics of things ranging from the mear basics of what the body is to the things the body can do to what you want with (or not) other people.
It also takes a queer angle to as in includes that queen is as natural as hetero/cis and while acknowledging things as typical presentation to some people, etc, it's makes the text accessible to all. Because in the end we all have bodies. We all ingage with people from the occasional to friendly to more is something that all should be able to learn on a comfort level.
Discussing puberty in ways that is evidence based, which this text does, plus all short of topics ranging from the absolutey importance of concent, anatomy, relationship-healthy and not so- to babies is all done in a collective way of including diversity,knowledge, which I continue to stress due to the lack luster I got and had to find out on my own, and engaging way.
All in all its a well rounded text that okays that all is different, okay to be different, okay to be on the 'normal' path the major thing is to be respectful, kind, and a decent human being.
