Book recommendation!

"The All of It: A Bogan Rhapsody" by Cadance Bell

A really great read. A memoir about growing up white in regional Australia during the dawn of the internet age, featuring the peculiar challenges of growing up trans.

Note that there are several -isms and -phobias that come up in this one (racism, homophobia, ableism, transphobia, sexism..)
