Symptoms of Being Human

I was interested in reading a book with a nonbinary (in this case gender fluid) character and chose this as it was in the list of banned books on my library app. In my opinion this book was terrible. I am guessing the author is straight. I am as well, but I think the author should have done more research about the lived experience of gender fluid people because I don't think it was a very accurate portrayal. The book never identifies what Riley's assigned gender was at birth which I found problematic. From people I know, a big part of their lives centers around their assigned gender and their actual gender. You can easily see that in the news with the fighting over what schools should and shouldn't be able to do in regard to lgbtqia+ students. It's a fight some students and their families have daily. I think some of the online harassment was more accurate but all in all, I would not recommend this book if you are looking for a book with a gender fluid protagonist.
