I thought this was a great book about gender. It's interesting how differently kids and teens view gender and this book did a good job explaining it. I appreciated the profiles of teens that were included in the book.

Free to Be by Jack Turban is a very accessible explanation of gender and sexuality. He offers well-researched information, and dives into the history of the topic.

I received an ARC from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I decided to pick this one up whilst in a reading slump. I am so glad I did! It really got me thinking about the relationship between gender identity and the world. Throughout this book, I felt invited to consider my own gender identity and, for a book that is heavily reliant on science and psychological trials, I really felt compelled to keep reading. Turban really addressed the wide array of topics surrounding transness well. I found it easy to follow and comprehend. I found his approach to the topic by providing real-life examples to be the best rhetoric he could have relied upon to make his call to action. Because that’s what this book is. A call to action to consider your own biases and your own identity. It was truly a worthy read!

I am not a medical doctor; however I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Overall, I found that this book contains a lot of helpful information for those

The author does a fantastic job introducing himself and his story. It is clear that Dr. Turban wants the reader to know his credentials, but moreso why he got into this work to begin. While the antcedotes and information throughout is important, establishing this ethos gave me the reassurance to continue reading.

What an amazing resource! I would recommend this to anyone. A better understanding of those around us we may not understand is crucial for humanity. I learned so many things scientifically and personally of people from many different walks of life. Thank you for writing this! And thank you to NetGalley for the chance to review.
