Rhea's project to understand gender on a deeper level and unexpected self-examination is a thoughtful, inclusive look at gender and gender experiences. I loved this insightful book. Rhea approaches the subject matter extremely well. This definitely got me thinking many times. It was interesting to read so many people's experiences paird with Rhea's own reflections.

It was a good discussion of gender and I learned a lot (coming from a cisgender woman). It was really interesting to see how other people view their gender versus how I view mine and how similar it was.

I found it a bit hard to get into this book, just because I myself had so many similar experiences that for large chunks of the book, I didn’t feel that I was learning anything. Once I got into it, though, I was able to get through it. Very nice, a bit denser of a read than I was expecting for a graphic novel, but it was nice.

I read this to understand more about gender and the spectrum. The author took interviews and set them with pictures to tell a story about how different gender can look. It’s definitely a book I can recommend to middle and high schoolers in any form of questioning for gender. It made me understand more and I feel like it would do even more for these students. They will feel seen. I’d like to put a copy in every library, ever❤️ It’s similar to Genderqueer in many ways

5.0

This was a really amazing book that covered all kinds of topics and view points on the subjects of gender and sex and how a person related to them. The author’s pool of interviewees was based in the Midwest so it was a bit limited in that regard but they still had a wide range of view points in term of gender, race, and disability. 

With first the general topic just being how each person related to femininity and then moving on to different topics from there. 

While the author started this as a journey for their own self discovery, it does a great job showcasing how gender and sexuality and how we fit in to cishet or queer or white or able-bodied spaces is all dependent on our own experiences in life and there’s no be “right way” to experience life.
