gah is this cover bad. Like, seriously, even though the lens of transgender. The person to the right of the one in the wheelchair and the leftmost person in the lowest row are essentially drawn as men, and the second person from the left in the lowest row is quite clearly meant to be a transgender man, which means that by including that person on a cover of a book regarding lesbianism they are misgendering this person by considering them women. So whether one views it though the lense of gender identity or biological sex it is offensive either way, so how did this ever pass muster?

And why, just why did they put that many transbians on the cover?
