I feel like this will be very good for all members of the LGBTQIA+ to read and people that love and support them. I think what everyone put into this book will help a lot of people well not alone on a journey they take that they need comfort in.

First, I wanna say that I find it hard to put a rating on a comic book that's based on real life experiences of trans and non-binary people, the reason behind that simply being that I don't want to rate someone's life and experience on a scale from 1 to 5. Therefore, I am giving 5 stars because I enjoyed reading about how queerness and self-discovery presented itself in 29 different ways for 29 differents persons. I will say that some comics fell short for me and I would have liked those to have a few more pages to really expand their stories (Never Be Loved, I'm looking at you!), but I enjoyed them nonetheless. If you want to learn more about gender identity but don't necessarily feel like reading a long book, this comic is a nice way to do so!

This was a really cute collection of comics, I liked the varying styles of the illustrations. They were all stories about the trans and non binary experience that are important, interesting and insightful.

This is a lovely anthology. If I had a complaint about it, it was that I wished I had more time with some of the artists, since all of the comics were so short. However, the upside is that there are a wide variety of artists from lots of different backgrounds represented here, so there's something for everyone. I enjoyed seeing the changes between art styles, which really run the gamut, because it just reinforces how personal art is to an artist, and how their personal style helps them express themself. I thought it was very impactful that the artists had lots of different experiences with figuring out their gender, and I think that will be helpful for others questioning their own gender. It also goes to show how different and personal gender and sexuality are, and how embracing the idea of both gender and sexuality as a spectrum offers people greater freedom. Trying to force everyone into binary boxes doesn't really serve anyone well, no matter how vehemently and violently some people reject the gender spectrum and the sexuality spectrum.
I think what struck me most about this anthology was that, even though each artist had a different experience, the universal themes are relief and joy at expressing yourself the way you want to express yourself. I hope everyone learns to embrace that kind of joy and freedom.
