Excerpt: In You Know, Sex: Bodies, Gender, Puberty, and Other Things, we found ourselves unexpectedly drawn to its refreshingly honest approach to teaching complex topics. The comparisons between puberty across different bodies and genders were particularly striking, offering insights we’d never considered in a classroom setting. What set it apart was the way it reconciled textbook knowledge with real-world experience, making our learning feel both academic and deeply personal. We appreciated the author’s willingness to tackle taboo subjects with clarity, and the interactive glossary felt like a helpful roadmap through the material. While some themes were more engaging than others, the book’s gender-tested approach ensured a balanced perspective, balancing humor with sensitivity. Ultimately, it proved more engaging than some of our traditional health classes, leaving us feeling informed and inspired to ask better questions.
