Gender — gender dysphoria, specifically — is something that has recently started fascinating me and I've adjusted my reading accordingly. Thanks to recent progress in gender studies, there seems to be more books published on this topic than ever before. It's one I find endlessly fascinating, so when I saw this book up for request on Netgalley, I jumped on it.

This is a nonfiction volume comprised of live tweets and blog posts created by two parents of two children — a son and daughter. Their children are young; the tweets and posts are about observations the kids (and parents) make about gender and how it enforces their worldview. Basically, this one is a series of snapshots of parents' journey to becoming more aware, progressive, feminist parents.

I liked this book. Despite my 3 star rating, I did like it. I just didn't love it, that's all. It made me reconsider my notions of gender, for sure; the parents make several great points here. As well, I liked that it's never clear at any one time whether the mom or dad is the one tweeting or blogging — that way there is no chance for gender bias, only total consideration for what ideas are being explored. Nice touch, I think.

However, the parents do tend to be a little overly snarky, a little condescending. At times their manner of speaking grated my nerves. Yes, I get frustrated by sexism and ignorance when it comes to gender dysphoria in today's culture — but at times the pettiness and whining was over the top. By the 80% mark I began to skim, which is never good.

Overall, this is an enjoyable and informative read, but I will never revisit it.

<b>Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC, which was given in exchange for an honest review.</b>

There is a general need for this book, I found some of the stories very eye opening and made me think about things from a different perspective, however, I do not feel like the people who need to read this book- will, which is always disappointing.

Parents grapple with raising their children in a 'gender neutral' environment.

The first part of the book, which consists of tweets, provide a mundane look into gender and an a glimpse and the often overlooked gender stereotypes enforced on children. The second and third parts of the book are more concise.

I liked that the author not just whinges about how difficult it is to break gender stereotypes but also offers some recommendations.

Insightful reads.

This book was well-written, but the bias and extreme claims made it hard to get through. The author struggles to adopt and maintain a feminist perspective without coming across as very problematic at times.

An interesting look at how gender pervades all parts of society and how it is shaping us for generations to come.
