Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

I’ve been wanting to read this book for forever and am so happy I finally did! As a queer person who uses mixed pronouns, experiencing Kobabe’s vulnerability in this memoir was freeing. It felt like an offering to help people understand, not feel alone, or both. 

Not to mention e is an incredible cartoonist and writer. I admired eir drawings, the way they communicate pain, joy, etc., and I found myself giggling at just how well e captures life as a queer person in general. A million times worth the read.

Kobabe also helped me understand neopronouns and gender in new ways. It’s crucial to keep this memoir available on library shelves and in bookstores worldwide. 🏳️‍🌈
