Wow. So so powerful. This is absolutely fantastic, and you should definitely read it! It makes me sad that this is one of the most banned books right now, because it tells such an important story in a beautiful way. I cannot thank Kobabe enough for telling eir story and sharing it with the world. I was most stuck with the full page illustrations, where Kobabe really made me stop and consider some major themes and messages. E describes what it means to be non-binary in such a visceral, memorable manner. I can see how this would be super affirming to read if you also identify as non-binary, but I think it’s just as necessary to read if you identify as cisgender. I have a much more nuanced understanding now.
