From the Publisher

Canadian author Sloan writes, blogs, and educates on sex. In this case, she does it with words related to gender and sexuality. Organized by topic (gender identities, stigma and struggle, attraction and desire), the definitions are clear, thoughtful, inclusive, and concise. From cisgender to QTPOC, and from ally to nibling, readers gain insights into history, power imbalances, the nuances of usage, and more. Other topics in the "200 Words" series include Michael A. Britt's 200 Words To Help You Talk About Psychology (availability heuristic, classical conditioning, groupthink), Anja Steinbauer on philosophy (metaphysics, virtue, civil disobedience) and Ben Street on art (gouache, scumbling, photorealism). VERDICT Each compact volume clarifies concepts and aids in discussion. Sloan's informative and supportive tone when defining sexuality and gender terms is of value to readers.
