Maia Kobabe (E/Em/Eir) writes an intensely cathartic autobiography. Eir journey is one of self-identity, including the mortification of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fan fiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears.
Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be Nonbinary and Asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: It is a useful and touching guide on gender identity--what it means and how to think about it--for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.
Deluxe hardcover edition of Gender Queer features a brand-new cover, exclusive art and sketches, a foreword from ND Stevenson, Lumberjanes writer and creator of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, plus an afterword from Maia Kobabe.
