Girlmode by Magdalene Visaggio

I loved this. As a trans person, I love books that accurately describe the complicated process of learning gender socialization from a new perspective and realizing the multiple understandings of gender in a way that few people ever really experience gender, aside from trans people. It's such a unique experience and I love when I see an author exploring that because so much of trans-related media is about bad experiences or about coming out and that is such a small portion of life as a trans person. And I loved the art. I also loved the message and the way it's explored in such a realistic way.

I saw on the author page at the end that the author described it as

Spoiler

"'Clueless' but with Tai as the main character and she's trans" which was fascinating because I did not see that until I finished it but early on I thought "oh this is like a reverse 'Emma' situation"

and I found that very funny.
