Omschrijving
Why we are all being messed up by gender, and what we can do about it
One of the bravest, freshest voices
This memoir ... got me underlining, and texting friends, frequently.
Part memoir, part manifesto, The Gender Games is filled with the type of funny, thoughtful and honest writing that has made Dawson a multi-award winning YA author...Frank, witty, and educational'
If you want to be well informed about what it menas to be trans, I can highly recommend Juno's book The Gender Games. It's a funny, honest read and clears up a lot of confusion and misinformation
This book is incredible, I loved it so much
A saucy, sassy, sweary look at gender, and how it trips and entraps us.
Funny, thoughtful and honest writing ... It's soberingly relevant and makes you want to #smashthepatriarchy
Opens minds, breaks down myths and vaporises prejudice - I loved it!
Not only is this book incredibly informative, it's also very funny.
It's not often as a grown-up that someone makes you sit up and re-examine not only your own identity, but your attitudes to an entire social group. But that's the effect this thoughtful, articulate woman had on me. ... Dawson's book is eminently readable and often very funny.
Informative and entertaining. I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone: we all have something to learn about gender.
