Read it all in one night. Fast paced and keeps you wanting to read on. Definitely made me understand non binary identity on a deeper level.

What an excellent book. I learned way more than I thought I would! The author does a great job of storytelling and I really feel like I have a much deeper understanding of how trans and nonbinary experiences can be after reading. I think everyone would benefit from reading this! Honestly it is way more tame than I thought it would be considering how controversial and banned it is. Hats off to the author for putting it out there, what a brave thing to do. I feel grateful for the reading experience!

Spoilers Ahead: 
I thought this was a very interesting book. As someone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community, I wanted to read about what it felt like to not be the gender you was assigned at birth. 

This is an autographical piece, and it was so intriguing. We follow Maia as ey (I think these are the right pronouns, I’m so sorry if they’re not correct) are learning to find themselves. Assigned female at birth, but feeling like ey’re genderless and not really wanting to be identified as male or female, it’s really cool to see em become more happy with eir body, and find out which pronouns work out best for em. 

Honestly, I learnt quite a lot more than I thought I would from this comic. Such as how their is actually a hormonal reason as to why some people feel like they are not connected with the body they were born in. Secondly, I thought this comic was so raw, so brave and so beautiful, and showing the struggles that ey faced. Even with family, who are supposed to love you unconditionally, aren’t perfect, and it’s nice to see it from all angles. 

I’m definitely very interested in learning a lot more about being non-binary and gender-queer, as I think it’s becoming a more prevalent part of life, and I want to make sure I’m being respectful of everyone’s gender. Also, it’s insanely fucking cool.

Gender Queer is a quick read that holds a lot of wisdom in its pages. Queer and trans people will find many moments of resonance, and I see this book being an invaluable resource for friends and family members trying to better understand their non-binary (or otherwise trans or queer) loved one(s).

this is one of, if not the, most relatable book I have ever read. I felt so seen by so many of Kobabe's experiences and am so glad e shared them in this gorgeous and evocative graphic novel.
