This book’s relevance is undeniable in light of the ongoing assaults on trans youth; it serves as a vital guide toward education justice. Each author’s narrative is steeped in love and compassion, offering invaluable resources for LGBTQ youth to not only find representation in classrooms but also for their peers to see their humanity. It transcends fear and rejection, presenting queerness as a liberating space for all. Fueled by courage and love, it provides the support LGBTQ youth require in these challenging times. — Bettina L.
