lisacanteven's review against another edition
4.5
*1/2-1 star off for the multiple Harry Potter references. I understand that Maia is trans, so e is someone who should be able to discuss HP if ey want. However it is still triggering, and I just wish we could erase all mentions everywhere by everyone since JKR keeps furthering her harmful anti-trans views and desire for anti-trans regulations passed everywhere. I think everyone, including all trans people, should reevaluate what about JKR is so valuable to them despite the hurt and harm she causes. I was hoping that since I bought the new special edition, all HP references would have been edited out. Mentioning HP instead of keeping it vague adds nothing positive to the story. It just adds triggering content.*

bookishmillennial's review against another edition
asdsdjhfslhflsdjhskfh I borrowed this from the library and after reading, I want my own copy! I adored this graphic novel/memoir from Maia Kobabe and I am so glad I read this.
Disclaimer: There are a few Harry Potter references in here, but this was published in May 2019 before JKR revealed herself as a TERF POS.
Topics covered:
- asexuality / aromantics
- gender dysphoria
- finding queer representation in books and music
- finding queer community through the Queer Straight Alliance in high school
- getting eir period and the trauma of navigating this along with pap smears
- figuring out what sexual orientation label felt right
- discussing queerness with eir family, friends and classmates
- experimenting with masturbation and tracking this to figure out eir feelings on the physical act of sex in general
- the spiral of constantly questioning and/or hating eir body
- binding, clothes/shopping, haircuts/styles, bodily hair
- and so much more!
Besides this being highly informative for anyone who is unfamiliar with gender queerness, asexuality, aromantic, nonbinary, othergender, etc, it's at its core a beautifully generous and vulnerable account from Maia's journey as ey question and figure out all of this. I'm so grateful to em for sharing this with us.
