Through their unique approach, Dr. Goetz explores the influence of biology, hormones, mental health, behavior, and societal constructs on identity. Their work, informed by personal experiences as a non-binary/trans, queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, Jewish individual, sheds light on these intricate concepts in an accessible manner. “An exceptional book! Beautifully written and illustrated, it gently guides you through the foundational connects and terminology related to gender in a welcoming way.” Dr. Alex Keuroghlian.
