I requested this book primarily because I'm looking for accessible information for my mother, as I recently came out to her as nonbinary and asked her to use they/them (which is proving... difficult). I'm not 100% sure this will work for that, but it is a fabulous humorous resource for younger folks - it seemed aimed at a millennial / gen z audience.

The arc had some major formatting issues on my kindle which rendered parts of the text unreadable -- hopefully, they will get cleared up before publication. Once I accessed it on the netgalley shelf app, I did like the way the text is interspersed with illustrations. It makes it feel more accessible.

I didn't encounter much that I didn't already know from my own research, but there were a few new tidbits. For someone just being introduced to the concept of nonbinary people and they/them pronouns, I think it's a fabulous guide. I also really enjoyed the humor - but then, I'm a millennial. I'm not sure it would jive with an older audience. I do really appreciate that it definitely doesn't give off a scholarly vibe because that can scare people new to the topic away.
