First off, I've never encountered a book taking a diamat and hismat take on any LGBTQIA issues, usually its some sociology book that tries to be very nonpolitical or some old libby book like something by Foucault. I love how it goes into hidden history, stories of gender nonconforming people fighting for their existence/class from antiguity and how bigotry is based on class division. The author realizes terminology changes and mentions this in the title, just the pure awareness to time is a breath of fresh airInteresting the party ze was in is still active and behind that banned covid19 book.

Highly recommend to any comrade, but this really hit personally being trans and gay.

Also, anything similar?

PS: The copy I found needs to be optimized for easier reading on tablets or other slow devices.

    I don't got much to say other than I really liked this book, learning how much LGBTQIA history has been buried was super interesting. Joan of Arc connection with the downtrodden and the bit about Halloween super cool.
