I found this on buzzfeed and I thought it would've been an interesting kids book to read in like grade 4-5ish. BTW, the book is free to download.

I wouldn't suggest this for 4-5th graders - mainly because they aren't acquainted with much, the language and ideas presented are a bit complex. Of course, a child who feels out of place may find it deeply reassuring, since kids have a way of assuming that whenever somebody doesn't like them it's the end of the world because they don't have any perspective. But a 14-18 year old could handle it quite well I'd think. I imagine it'll get some play in colleges as well since it provides a simple introduction to newer ideas about gender and how it differs from sex.

An interesting read, it also reminded me of my college days a bit since I ended up deeply involved in the LGBTq community in college since it's a pretty solid place for a Communist to be and a lot of the ideas presented in regards to gender were pretty alien to me.

I think this is kind of a lot for a young kid to process. The last thing a kid would want to have to learn about is the convoluted subject of gender issues when they're having a hard enough time trying to learn how to tie their shoes.

this is written in like end of high school to college level language. the words "problematize" and "self-referential" stood out immediately.

i dunno if i would ever willingly give this to someone. its really fucking wordy for half of each page being drawings. does a good job of being thorough though. not many pamphlets like this would even mention gq, let alone dedicate two pages to intersex people
