The book's subjects come from all walks of life: there's Max, a transgender man who transitioned in his 40s; Jen, a non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns; and Alex, a genderqueer person who identifies as neither male nor female. Each person shares their own unique story of coming to terms with their gender identity, and in ng so, they provide a powerful and moving look at the human experience of gender.

Starring He, She, and They is not just a book about gender identity. It is also a book about love, acceptance, and resilience. The subjects of the book face discrimination and prejudice on a daily basis, but they refuse to let it define them. They are all living proof that it is possible to live a happy and fulfilling life, regardless of your gender identity.

Starring He, She, and They is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about gender identity. It is a powerful and moving book that will change the way you think about gender.
