Misgendering was accidental. And all the times blood was brought up, it was menstrual blood.black_flamed_candle_b00ks's review against another edition

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.
