DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to my dear friend Leon, who has shown incredible strength and resilience in the face of adversity. As Leon undergoes his transition from female to male, he has been met with countless challenges and obstacles, including denials of critical medical care. Despite these setbacks, Leon has never wavered in his determination to be his true self.

I am in awe of Leon’s courage, and I am honored to dedicate this book to him. May it serve as a reminder to all who read it that the fight for equality and acceptance is far from over.

INTRODUCTION

As someone who has grappled with questions about my own gender identity, I know firsthand how confusing and conflicting the information online can be. That’s why I decided to create a comprehensive guide to gender identity, expression and true LGBTQIA+ knowledge – something like an encyclopedia that could be referenced by anyone, anywhere, to promote understanding and reduce ignorance.

It will be designed to present complex topics in a simple, accessible and neutral way, so that virtually anyone can read and understand it.

By presenting a comprehensive and objective account of each LGBTQIA+ topic, this work seeks to
