What an incredible project. It's impressive how the author was able to compile the contents of these 56 interviews--along with their own personal story--in a way that flows this well and is accessible, interesting and heartfelt. It promotes compassion and truly listening to people, and I feel like I learned so much from it.

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.

Contains a couple of homophobic slurs, including the f slur, used by one of the interviewees (Ignacio). It makes it clear with a note at the bottom of the page when the content about a suicide attempt is, so you can skip that if needed. Check the full content warnings on the first page.

 I think this is what I was hoping for when I read Beyond the Gender Binary last year. I appreciated that Ewing started with little knowledge on the subject and extended that to the reader. This book was a very good look at gender, gender identity, gender expression, etc. as defined by those interviewed by Ewing, based on their own experiences.

I appreciated how Ewing interwove their own story into the comic without hijacking the narrative. I also appreciate that this got beyond super basics, while still being accessible to readers. It's obvious how much time and love Ewing put into this book and it made it a pleasure to read.
