The ABC’s of LGBT+: (Gender Identity Book for Teens, Teen & Young Adult LGBT Issues)
£10.30£11.40 (-10%)
About 3.5% of the 2015 U.S. population identifies as being part of the LGBT community. This is NOT a celebrity book, but no doubt the notoriety of Caitlyn Jenner has propelled the issue to the forefront of media. A book of great insightfulness and self-evaluation and direction on how to deal with the issues confronting those who want to embrace their true self without fear of alienation of friends and families or not sharing who they are for fear of reprisal. Ashley lived this, and came out stronger than she ever thought imaginable, so while it has elements of memoir, it is very much a self-help title.

Just awesome!!! I would really recommend it to anyone, ANYONE. It is so educational, but does a fantastic job of using other’s life experiences to provide the reader with the data, no strings attached, thus it is suitable for all members of the LGBTTQQIAAP community (including allies). This is sooo amazing, because it makes the book yours, just like your gender and sexuality, forming a really important parallel between the two. As much as it was very informing, it was very heartwarming to be able to use this book as a gateway to the full Queer community, with personal and comforting stories from sooo many people.
Thank you so so so so much Ash!

Ash Hardell (yes, name has changed since the release of this book) is an amazing human & their work for the LGBTQ+, particularly transgender, community has helped so many people! She explains so many different labels in this book and it’s so interesting to read through, even if all of these terms can be a little confusing at times. I think the message he wants to come out of this is that you can read about & take an interest in learning about something, without being expected to know absolutely everything. Lovely.

An interesting attempt at beginning to tackle the widespread ignorance/misunderstanding of gender, sexuality, orientation and expression. It acknowledges its shortcomings, but as a first-port-of-call for someone trying to get to grips with an vast expanse of unfamiliar terminology, its a pretty decent guide.
by Jess
Really educational book, so handy to refer to when trying to explain different aspects of the community. Ash has done a great job on this! So easy to understand as well. Helped me a lot.

I’ve loved ash’s videos for ages and have been meaning to buy this book for a while. It’s informative and interesting and the page designs are honestly so pretty? I think it’s useful on so many levels, whether you’re questioning your identity and are seeking some sort of reassurance or education, or interested in learning more about the lgbtq+ community, or simply like reading in depth and clearly well researched works about gender and sexuality, created by someone who clearly has so much passion for talking about these issues and topics. I seriously can’t praise Ash or this book highly enough.

I love this book. However reviewing it while my head is still spinning from the sheer amount of information is not easy. I think everyone should read this if only to appreciate how nuanced and diverse are sex and gender. I went into the book a member of the LGBT community and suddenly found myself in the LGBTQIA+ community and it’s fascinating. I would love anyone who thinks they are straight to read this with an open mind, they will learn a lot, they may even wonder whether ‘straight’ is aa adequate description of anyone they know.

Daughter wanted this – she found it quite hard work as she thought it was more of a “reading” book.
