‘’What if I’m never able to explain, but I can tell you that it would make me happy.’’
Gender Queer is a phenomenal piece of queer non-fiction and everyone should read it. In em memoir, Kobabe shares with the reader em journey down the path to discovering em gender identity. This is the kind of story I wish I had when I was younger and dealing with my own questioning. The exploration of the author’s early years will certainly echo many’s own experiences. Stories like this one are a welcomed representation.
Maia Kobabe’s journey to discovering em asexual identity was deeply honest and vulnerable. Through beautiful illustrations we peek into em dating life (or lack thereof). Viewing the different ways society pushes relationships in addition with intimacy as the ultimate goal contextualizes the asexual experience. I appreciated em determination to stay true to em feelings even when it was a difficult stance to maintain.
