to ask for books that would educate me on the following topics...

[askingfiramin]

Politics
sexism
transgender
surrogacy
human rights
refugees
philosophy

or anything else worth learning about?

I realise these are broad topics but I just want to learn more and feel I don’t know enough about these things

Ummm …. You aren’t going to get any sort of understanding of such a wide range of topics without reading a lot of books. You might get a more helpful response if you choose one or two of these topics to focus on first. Your local librarians might be able to help.

Trans by Helen Joyce was very detailed and informative.

Prisoners of Geography - Tim Marshall
Invisible Women - Caroline Criado Perez
Detransition, Baby - Torrey Peters
Gender Games - Juno Dawson

The Spirit Level, by Kate Pickett

Maybe start with a daily newspaper (Telegraph/Guardian/Observer/Times). Read the editorials.

This May Help You Understand the World by Lawrence Potter.
