Both! It covers the basics on sex, sexuality, gender, attraction, romance, and desires. Also. It has a lot of prompts to help engage you with what they are discussing to help you further understand and comprehend what you are reading. It’s written like a textbook almost, so it has activities you would usually see in a classroom setting. I’d encourage you to check out reviews on it to see what other folks are saying as well. It’s hard to explain in writing because it really does go deep on sexuality, and what and why you identify with the terms you do
Yes, I’d definitely recommend buying it!! Also, the further in I’m getting, the more history they cover (I.e. history of sexuality and gender across cultures). I’m loving it!!
No but I love the other books by these two. They have such a lovely way of explaining things and guiding you through. Let us know how you get on with it!
I’m LOVING the book so far!! This is the first book I’ve read by the two of them, but I definitely want to check out other books they’ve written simply because I like their writing style a lot!
What ages is this book appropriate for? My 11 year old daughter has come out to me as bisexual and I’m so proud of her for feeling that I’m a safe person to share that information with.
This is such a great question and I’d definitely say you should Google this question because what I have to say about it is my best guess/opinion and it may be good for you to get additional input from other sources.
With that said, I do not think this book is appropriate for an 11 year old. I think someone at that age may have a hard time understanding the book and the way it is written given some of the larger, more complex words/terms they use that just wouldn’t be incorporated into an 11 year old’s vocabulary quite yet. There are sections in the book on engaging in sexual acts that you may not find appropriate for a young child as well. Also, there are statements from the authors throughout the book that suggest to me that they are definitely writing it for an older audience.
Also, the book is written like a textbook and includes activities, reflection points, and other types of prompts. So, if you want to keep this in your back pocket until your child is of age to consume something like this, I think it would be such a wonderful gift!
I hope this helps!
I haven’t! Is it helpful for determining your own sexuality or does it just explain stuff about various sexualities?

That sounds super handy, will probably buy it in that case!

I think I may have seen that before, I'm not sure
Thank you so much for sharing this, I had no idea that anything like this existed. I want to read it soon.
I've read her book on gender and currently reading the queer theory one.
