Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

This was a bit of a tough read because Kobabe's honesty about eir anxieties related to gender and sexuality are so palpable but it was also incredibly rewarding, especially as someone who is married to a nonbinary person as been following them on their journey of coming out and coming into their own. It's wild to me that so much has been made about a single page of this graphic novel by disingenuous folks on the rights when it makes its case for its own existence as you experience Maia's pain and disorientation at not knowing how to exist in the world because e were never never given any template to understand who e could be.
