Anyone read this yet? I have been listening on Audible. It's well researched, albeit v Amercan focused.

The narrator is a bit annoying (posh Anerican), but that's my bias

I think it's going for a mainstream audience and it does cover the issues

Quite the selection of "also viewed"! No reviews that I could see on Canadian Amazon...

I pre ordered it but it's not coming until August. I presume it's audible and kindle everyone is reading now?

I bought the hard copy so I can share in my feminist group after reading.

Trying to read it - life keeps interfering!

Re the reviews - Amazon USA has put a block on random reviews of this book with the warning: "Amazon has noticed unusual reviewing activity on this product. Due to this activity, we have limited this product to verified purchase reviews." It was a best seller on the US site even before it launched and still is now no 1 in Transgender Studies, 3 in LGBT Studies, and 1 in LGBT Political Issues.

Amazon UK doesn't seem to be taking any precautions - there's actually a (one star) review on there which says in the first line that it's "based on the sample". Also, I can normally view reviews from other international sites through Amazon UK, but in this case I just see the bad UK reviews, not the (predominantly good) US ones or any others.

I might give it a read.

If you or others find the book useful, it may be worth leaving an Amazon review, because it seems to be receiving politically motivated reviews from people who probably haven't even read it.
