Gender: A Graphic Guide by Meg-John Barker

A Really great primer on the history and definitions surrounding gender. It took time to analyze how toxic masculinity and the patriarchy hurts every gender, males included. Barker also goes into detail explaining how sex cannot be so easily defined either. It goes on to define what nonbinary means along with the spectrum of gender non-conformity.
A lot of names and books were mentioned, which initially felt a little off-putting, but seeing the sources listed at the end was incredibly helpful and I made some notes of it for future reference. This author also has Queer Graphic History and Sexuality, a Graphic Guide that I plan to borrow from other libraries.
