The book starts with a good dose of understanding where we're from and acceptance for who we are, and that acceptance and understanding flows through the book, making it a safe, inclusive and comfortable space for learning.
It is informed by a framework developed by the World Health Organisation and well established interventions such as CBT, so you know it has good grounding. The writing may be a little clinical at times, but it is accessible and there are lots of narratives and case studies to flesh the process out. These help it be more understandable and relatable, and can highlight some things you may not have thought of. They also give a process for how you might approach and think about things, which is useful.
There are helpful sets of questions that guide you to understand yourself, your situation, what you want to do, and where you can get support.
Some interesting new approaches are suggested that can empower and give control, such as 'Inviting In' rather than 'Coming Out', helping give more balanced thinking in these difficult situations which helps reduce the stress they can cause.
This book has content across a broad spectrum of possible queer experiences, meaning whether you're newly discovering yourself, young or old, or even someone who's been out and proud for a long time, may still learn something new and valuable. And if you’re supporting someone in one of those spaces, you’ll learn as well.
Overall, it addresses a comprehensive collection of experiences and concerns that may impact the life of GBT men and offers ways of thinking and tools to help overcome challenges and help build resilience. I think this is a great addition to the toolbox for supporting the gay, bisexual, transgender and diverse men in our lives and in our communities.

5 stars because I think this is a great handbook for therapists and the general public to get an introduction on the culture of this population. Moreover, more educational resources are needed in this area.
, but this is a great book with a wealth of examples and exercises.

As a trans man who just started medically transitioning I was very excited to read this book. I wish there would have been more content geared towards trans men, I feel like especially the body positivity segment was kind of lackluster. Furthermore I wish the mental health approaches would have been more varied instead of just being the chair experiment over and over again.
