asked:
Is the author of this book transgender? I'm very hesitant about reading books focusing on LGBT+ issues if the author isn't LGBT+ themselves.

Hey, the author has written that she had spent working at the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS), a highly specialised NHS clinic for under-eighteens struggling with their gender identity.
Here's the source, I hope it helps.

I must say, as a trans guy I related to Leo almost immediately and to Kate in several ways I didn't expect. Being trans enby or binary is a very collective experience that has so many of it's own personal details and I think you did an amazing job of writing the story of these two.
