Graphic: Injury/Injury detail, Sexism, Medical content, Sexual content, Transphobia, Vomit, Blood, Body horror, Dysphoria, and Medical trauma
Moderate: Acephobia/Arophobia and Bullying
Minor: Incest
Very brief child nudity (not sexualized). Children are depicted urinating outside. Brief but graphic images of urine and vomit and feces. As for incest, it is discussed vaguely. It is only noticable if you're familiar with the pop culture reference where the incest takes place. Details:charliemaigne's review against another edition

What can I say about this memoir that hasn't already been said? It was eye-opening to read and I wish I had read it before now because I have had students and friends who I wish I could have recommended it to when they needed it. I have never really questioned my gender identity but I can see how important this graphic novel is to have on shelves for those who are. I kept thinking of specific friends who needed this book ten years ago when they were struggling with these same things. It makes me sad that it is the most banned book in the US right now.
The thing I wasn't expecting when I picked it up was how often I saw pieces of myself in this book when the author is was figuring out e were ace/aro. It was something I didn't know I needed to read.
I wish this book could be required reading. Not only so those who need it can read it but also so others can understand the struggles of others and build some empathy.
