I wanted to like this book soooo bad. I went in with the knowledge that no dictionary of queer language is ever going to be perfect, and I appreciated the author's attempts to acknowledge this in the introduction. But as a bi and trans person, reading over and over that words bi and trans people helped create (as we have always been part of the gay and lesbian communities) are being appropriated by the 'wider' LGBTQ+ community from gay men and lesbians... it's simply not true. It's a lack of acknowledgment of our history in those spaces. It is not appropriation in the way white gays stealing from black culture is. Unfortunately, the defintions and explanations in this dictionary are heavily biased - for me, unreadably so.
