I think the issue here is the extent to which books are annotated and reviewed. Short annotations for a bibliography are meant to tempt the reader without giving away the whole story; in-depth reviews are useful for the collection developer. For readers who may be transgender, gender queer, or transvestite, or often unsure about where they fall into the spectrum, a bibliography reflective of all of these issues is particularly useful.

Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from one to another mind. -James Russell Lowell, poet, editor, and diplomat (1819-1891)
A closed mind is like a closed book: just a block of wood. -Chinese Proverb
