In Gender Queer, Maia Kobabe has crafted an intensely cathartic autobiography about eir parth to identifying as nonbinary and asexual, and coming out to eir family and society. By addressing questions about gender identity - what it means and how to think about it - the story also doubles as a much-needed, useful, and touching guide.

I found this graphic memoir to be extremely well done. It tackled a lot of difficult, thorny issues and was strikingly honest about them. I really loved the crisp, clear style of both the art and the lettering. Maia Kobabe is very talented and seemingly quite brave, as well. This is a book with a lot of heart.

I could have sworn that I saw this on your shelf or wishlist at one point, but now I don't see it on either. Clearly I'm losing it! Or perhaps it was on your wishlist and you acquired a copy already. Anyhow, you know the drill. If this one's not for you for any reason, please just pass it along in any way that you see fit. Thanks!

The box of books arrived safely today; many thanks! I definitely wanted to read this one, and am rather surprised that it isn't on my wishlist - but now it doesn't have to be {grin}.

Later: A very impressive memoir here, following the author through eir journey of self-discovery - from the fairly-common early stages of really, really disliking the effects of puberty to more deep-seated discontent with societal roles, self-image, and more. Touches of humor ("I need to make out with someone soon - for fanfiction" {grin}) along with the more emotionally fraught episodes, some very satisfying support from friends and family, and, eventually, the author finding eir own community - though as of the end of this book, Maia is still struggling with whether or not to come out to eir students. (I guess this book is the answer to that!)
