★☆☆☆☆
The loch ness monster is better researched than this book is.
Honestly this book deserves 0 stars, but amazon doesn't offer that.
I was excited to read more about the research behind the trans perspective from someone who allegedly has published in the scientific field before. I didn't even make it past the preface before I clicked on a citation I was interested in learning more about and - it's empty. As is the next. And three more after that. So I checked, and out of 285 citations, 228 of them cite such esteemed sources as Wikipedia, Twitter (I wish I was kidding), HuffPost, Medium, various OpEd pieces, and the opinions of the author, herself. 20 of them are empty altogether. At least 10 of them (after a quick skim) are repeats.
For a book that claims "... here, opinions based on ideology have been replaced by science," it does a pretty shoddy job of providing any science.
What a let down.
