Gender Is Really Strange

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this was great little intro to gender kind of book. It had a lot of really great and interesting information but didn't go super in depth due to how short it is. I would love to see a longer version! Overall, I thought it would be a good book for people who don't know much on the topic or want to learn more. Would definitely recommend.

I would like to thank Jessica Kingsley Publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Gender is really strange is an ideal book to educate ourselves about gender identity and sex. The different concepts are explained in a clear and attractive way, including several examples across cultures and religions.

I think this book will be very helpful for parents to explain gender identity to children.

“Trans or cis, we are all on gender journeys and all gender journeys are valid.“


This was a fast and fun read while also being extremely informative! I love that they chose to do this in the format of a graphic novel as it made it extremely accessible and and the way the the information is presented makes it easy to digest. This is a great intro to gender and the constructs surrounding it and I love that the sources have all been cited so we can use those recourses to continue researching!

I highly recommend to anyone who is trying to understand their own gender identity, if your trying to understand gender in general, or if you're struggling with the concept of gender. 

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing this ARC
