I read this book as part of the 2024 Trans Rights Readathon, and I'm so glad that I did. Not only did I genuinely enjoy reading Kobabe's story, but I also learned so much from em. From chest binding to e/em/eir pronouns to ways to support people experiencing gender dysphoria, I learned so much that I didn't know before.
I'm so grateful that Kobabe wrote this graphic novel, particularly given the vulnerability it took to share eir story, and I am truly looking forward to reading more of eir work.

Injury/gore is metaphorical and features a character impaled on a spike in a couple of different instances. It metaphorically represents emotional/physical pain and features some amount of blood, nothing else. Blood warning mainly applies to menstrual blood.diannasbooks's review against another edition

*1/2-1 star off for the multiple Harry Potter references. I understand that Maia is trans, so e is someone who should be able to discuss HP if ey want. However it is still triggering, and I just wish we could erase all mentions everywhere by everyone since JKR keeps furthering her harmful anti-trans views and desire for anti-trans regulations passed everywhere. I think everyone, including all trans people, should reevaluate what about JKR is so valuable to them despite the hurt and harm she causes. I was hoping that since I bought the new special edition, all HP references would have been edited out. Mentioning HP instead of keeping it vague adds nothing positive to the story. It just adds triggering content.*

Shipping the brothers in Supernatural was a weird choice.bookedbymadeline's review against another edition
