Rendition To Books Symptoms of Being Human

The first thing you’re going to want to know about me is: Am I a boy, or am I a girl?

Riley Cavanaugh is many things: Punk rock. Snarky. Rebellious. And gender fluid. Some days Riley identifies as a boy, and others as a girl. The thing is…Riley isn’t exactly out yet. And between starting a new school and having a congressman father running for reelection in uber-conservative Orange County, the pressure—media and otherwise—is building up in Riley’s so-called “normal” life.

On the advice of a therapist, Riley starts an anonymous blog to vent those pent-up feelings and tell the truth of what it’s REALLY like to be a gender fluid teenager. But just as Riley’s starting to settle in at school—even developing feelings for a mysterious outcast—the blog goes viral, and an unnamed commenter discovers Riley’s real identity, threatening exposure. Riley must make a choice: walk away from what the blog has created—a lifeline, new friends, a cause to believe in—or stand up, come out, and risk everything.

Article Regarding Books Symptoms of Being Human

As always, Im going to be honest with you: I had never heard of gender fluidity before Symptoms of Being Human came along and held my hand through the process of my discovering this psychology.This book is informative and realistically illustrates what a gender fluid adolescents life and thoughts can look like. However, I do hope that not every gender fluid person has to go through everything Riley does, because Riley doesnt have it easy in school.Its hard for Riley to be in the closet around

I really enjoyed this story - there are not many books out there with genderfluid main characters, and finding one that is also a great story is delightful.Riley is the teen child of a congressman, and they narrate this story of their life with a persuasive voice. (In fact the one criticism here would be that Riley is too talented with words to be a teenager, but in the pleasure of the story and the importance of the message, I was willing to see them as gifted, and eloquent, without damaging



Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ The first thing youre going to want to know about me is: Am I a boy, or am I a girl? And thats one thing youll never find out, so its better to go in knowing it. Riley Cavanaughs story is one you probably havent read before that of a gender fluid teenager. As the book says regarding gender . . . Honestly, theres so much information out there, and a lot of it contradicts itself. The pronouns and the terminology, its very complex. It

Read Mask of Shadows instead. I really did not like this book. Authors who aren't trans (an umbrella term that encompasses genderfluid) and have nothing to do with our community need to stop writing about things they know nothing about. Let's break it down. 1) The first sign that this was going to be bad came early - page 6 - when Riley gets called "it" at school and then goes to go hide in the BATHROOM. Nobody who's trans or nonbinary is ever, ever going to choose the bathroom as a place to be.

(view spoiler)[I'm so tired of cis people writing stories where trans people are sexually assaulted.I know it happens. I know this is part of many trans people's stories, especially if they're trans women and/or people of colour. I know the statistics; they've been burned into my brain. I know how unsafe it is to be trans. But when you compare trans stories written by trans people with trans stories written by cis people, you invariably come up with patterns. One of those patterns is that when

(book #5 in my pride month challenge) I can't blame you for trying to categorize me. It's human instinct. 4,5 stars!This was insanely good and informative. Despite me wanting to stay away from YA contemporaries for a bit, I wanted to read a book with a genderfluid character for research and I wanted it to be in our world because honestly I had Questions. So when someone recommended it to me I was ready to be a bit bored with the actual story but I decided I would go through with it even in the
