Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe
1.0
baffled by the high ratings for this...... if i wanted to read 240 pages of someone explaining to me how yaoi made them gay and trans i'd just go on twitter. does the weird thing every autobiographical graphic novel does of jumping around haphazardly, telling not showing, and including random inclusions that make no sense to the narration. if i had to be introduced to one more character by their self-prescribed hogwarts house i was going to scream.
this is really just emblematic of all the issues of growing up terminally online and finding ur queerness through niche online spaces - not inherently a bad thing, i did it too, but i at least wasn't a grown adult in grad school shipping wincest and then talking about it in my published memoir....?
this forced me to read the word "heteroflexible" btw and make me take seriously the argument that straight women just prefer lesbian porn. published in 2019 btw.
