Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe
5.0
Some quotes I felt in my bones:
Pendulums of pages 120/1
“I want people to be confused about my gender at all times”(175)
All of 190
“After I didn’t speak up the first time I felt like I’d given up my right to say anything.”(210)
From parent: “why are you doing this to us?”(214)
“How do I look more… genderqueer”(226)
“Every time I fail to give my pronouns I feel like a coward… Next time. Next time I will come out.”(238/9)
“To my parents: though I have struggled with being your daughter… I am your child”(240)
Really all of it was great.

4.5
I liked it but the pacing was too slow at the beginning and then felt too rushed in the last ten pages to finish all the separate plot lines that had almost nothing to do with each other.
