[DeepL Translation - needs review] The six novels at ...... include "I'm a woman, but I fell in love with a female teacher," "I hide my gayness from my friends," and "I feel uncomfortable with my body and the gender I've been assigned. The book also includes a glossary of terms and a column. Includes an easy-to-understand glossary and columns.

What makes this a good beginner book in my opinion:
I thought it was very easy, the vocab is very repetitive (people mostly talk about gender, either in a sense that they love the same gender or in a sense that they aren’t their assigned gender) and it is mostly in a school setting. The only thing I struggled with was very specific school types (in the first story she goes on to study biochemistry I think?) but honestly I could’ve just ignored those words.
The stories usually go like someone is queer and feeling isolated by not knowing other queer people or their friends/family not accepting them. Or about them coming out and being afraid of the reactions. The non fiction nature of this book makes it fairly guessable even if you only understand parts of the sentence.
