I really loved this graphic novel. So many of the thoughts and feelings Theo describes match ones I’ve felt as a fellow trans and nonbinary person. It thoroughly illuminates ways in which society subscribes to an oppressive gender binary, and it provides great language for allies to use as well.

This is nothing hugely unique or groundbreaking in the field of memoir type comics about trans/nb people, but still very cute and important book.
But I did love the concept that your body is your home, and that you should redecorate it and adjust it until it feels right to you - you're the one that has to live in it after all! My favourite part was all the people as houses.
Also unlike a lot of graphic novels of this genre, this author (thankfully!) didn't experience any large trauma or hatred from people during their journey (or if they did, they've left it out of the comic) which makes it a much lighter read than a lot of similar comics. This definitely would have helped me if I'd read it as a teenager when I was going through similar things.
