Hmm. Okay.

So, I listened to the audiobook at 2.0x speed and originally enjoyed it, though it felt very chaotic and over the place with so many names and years that I could hardly keep up. It went so fast that some things slipped by me that I didn't notice at first.

While it was really good to learn more about queer history, the way transgender people were mentioned was... questionable, to say the least.

I didn't know much about these historical figures. It wasn't until I read the reviews that I learned that the author kept referring to what would now be seen as a trans man as a woman. 

I'm lowering my original rating because of this. Transphobia does not deserve a place in our community and overshines the things I did enjoy before knowing this.

I'm very disappointed. I hope the author will learn from this and not misgender people in the future, though I don't think I will be reading anything else.
