The conversation about sexuality and gender can seem confusing and daunting

Great news is there are ace books out there where you can learn a bit more about it, and understand the issues better as a result

These illustrated guides to Queer History and Gender are a great start
They take you through queer history and ideas in a very straightforward and readable way, covering a lot of the core concepts, terminology and where they came from

These short wee books also both use a comics format to get their points across, and are great to share with people who may feel uneasy about starting to talk about these issues

For young people asking questions about gender, and what being trans means for them, this is a great introductory guide

Again, it grounds being trans in the lived experience of those who are trans, and offers a very practical viewpoint
Trans Britain, from @christineburns, takes that further and fills out the history of trans people in the UK in their own words - turning abstract debates into stories of real people, including the impact of how the mainstream sees them has on them
This, I think, is essential reading for any medical practitioner who wants to better understand how they can support and provide care for trans people

There are plenty more books out there, but each of these has hugely helped me to understand better

... still learning though!

V definitely adding @JustJuno1’s Gender Explorers to this list - trans and non-binary young people in their own words

Genuinely inspirational and, as always, a huge amount of wisdom and common sense being spoken with compassion by young people, that many adults could learn from
