Very funny and informative

I am just so happy to have purchased this book. I can live my life without worrying so much about snake oil salesmen and misinformation. And the way she reads it it’s very good. Thank you for your Vagenda Dr Jen Gunter

At Long Last

Dr. Gunter presents much-needed facts about women’s bodies clearly, concisely, and compassionately, while also giving other much-needed facts about the errors and dangers of various kinds of pseudoscience in this same regard. Essential.

Must read!

Very informative with lots of references and data. Also debunked a lot of myths around the vagina which I find really helpful. Author also shares her own personal life and personal tips (for reference, not for recommendations) that I relate as well.

Highly recommend for those wanting to understand female bodies, including transition into female bodies (which is very hard to find thorough info on this subject - with good research and references)
