If you're someone who knows how to get your hands on ARCs, it's possible you'll be able to find one. I know SORTED was featured on Net Galley so hopefully, they have a few. The good news is that September 24th is not that far off!(less)

Quotes by Jackson Bird  (?)

“It’s important to remember that for binary trans people, certain gender markers can be very validating. While attempts to make everything gender neutral are generally the most inclusive routes, such neutral assumptions can sometimes be disappointing to the point of being offensive for binary trans people who have worked so hard to be seen as their authentic gender.”
Jackson Bird, Sorted: Growing Up, Coming Out, and Finding My Place

“They were not creating a mess. They were just slowly illuminating it.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Blue Lily, Lily Blue

“Great books help you understand, and they help you to feel understood.”
John Green

“I like the feeling of words doing as they want to do and as they have to do.”
Gertrude Stein

“I find myself making excuses for this kind of bullying behavior. Not everyone has been to college, learned trans 101, studied queer theory... But this is unfair to myself and other trans people. I've come to realize that understanding me isn't a matter of being an intellectual. Likewise, one doesn't have to be a radical to respect my feelings. Decent people consider how their comments affect others.”
Elliot Deline

“On the spectrum of creative work, the difference between the mediocre and the good is vast. Mediocrity is, however, still on the spectrum; you can move from mediocre to good in increments. The real gap is between doing nothing and doing something.” Amateurs know that contributing something is better than contributing nothing.”
