an interesting read about the history of psychology and how it has interacted and affected the lgbtiq community. I learned more about people with intersex variations than ever before. it is a bit broad because the authors made a big point of going over each community in each chapter, which I appreciate. this is the most Psychology ™️ book I have read and definitely prefer Therapy ™️ books.
