This is an affirming book which demonstrates both the complexity of gender identity and informs how it the diversity of gender identity manifests in different cultures.
Whilst the message was good, I wasn't entirely sure which age range the book was aimed at - teens, younger kids or parents.
It was so interesting to learn more about gender identity cross-culturally and I would like to learn more about how the people exemplified live their lives in today's society.

As a queer parent, my family is always searching for books that provide strong representation of queer culture, especially when it comes to gender diversity. I really love how this book shows examples of gender diverse people who are alive today (as opposed to much of trans culture that talks about ancient experiences of gender diversity). Having just finished Before We Were Trans, I was excited to find a more kid-appropriate book that I could share with my family. The only thing that keeps me from giving this book a higher rating is that the language felt a bit complex for kids at times. I think this is a book that is either appropriate for kids with a higher reading level, who might be put off by it being a picture book, or more of a conversation guide that involves a lot of explaining for younger readers.

Firstly I want to say that I really like the concept of the book, the information given, and the illustrations. My main critique would be that I wish the testimonials were by real people from the cultures themselves instead of fabricated from research. The intentions are good, but I think reaching out and conducting interviews with real people from the cultures being represented would be the better way to go.

Thanks to netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Cassandra Jules Corrigan provides clear and concise information in a colorful, easy-to-access text sharing information on non-cis/binary gender individuals from around the globe. Interactive review at the end helps review new information learned from the text. A timely addition for any library.

Although this was meant to be a kids book, I still learned a lot from it as an adult. I liked the illustrations, they were beautiful. I also really liked that the author put the time in to research different cultures before writing this book

This is a great introduction for kids (and, let's be honest, probs the adults in their lives, too) to gender identities outside the male/female binary. My Culture, My Gender, Me explores gender identities throughout the world, and strives to normalize expansive gender identities.

This book is a great introduction to non-binary peoples around the world. It highlights how different cultures perceive and label people who don't fall under the traditional binary labels of cis male or cis female. Even as an adult, I found it very interesting and highly educational.

A great LGBTQIA+ book that celebrates inclusion.
