Gender Queer is a beautifully illustrated and elucidating memoir about one person's journey. From Kobabe, I feel like I learned so much about dysphoria, self-discovery, preferred pronouns, asexuality, and gender. Though this memoir focuses solely on Kobabe's specific journey, eir story is very captivating and illustrative (literally and figuratively).

Recently, Liz @thiefofmemory posted an incredible review of this memoir that does it much better justice than I could. Please check out her review here (https://www.instagram.com/p/C22mpOGrQXf) to get an even better idea of why Gender Queer is a powerful and worthwhile read.

The art in this book was really nice. The memoir was engaging, and I really relate to some of Maia's gender feelings.

This is so cool and I feel seen in so many parts.

I'm glad I got to read it as research for my term paper on book bans in the US.

This book hit too close to home in a good way, as someone who identifies as a trans-masc non-binary person it was nice to read some of the same experiences I had/have (especially with coming out and correcting people on pronouns), it's a nice reminder that I'm not totally alone in having these experiences.
