Amazing telling of the author’s experience, thoughts, feelings, and learnings. I learned much from eir perspective. Highly recommend reading, especially for younger people who are working to discover and understand their own identities.

I have never felt more understood then I did reading this. I’ve struggled a lot to figure out if I’m asexual, bisexual, and where I fall on the gender spectrum. I’m so thankful to the author for writing this!

I really enjoyed reading this book, as a nonbinary person myself, and seeing the difference in how Maia was brought up and discovered eir identity!
I found myself relating to certain things and empathizing, even leaning new things like eir pronouns. I never had a community like em and it makes me happy reading that at least others can see the importance and also gain some confidence in knowing that others go through the same things and that they're not alone.
I really appreciated this book :)

An informative and inspiring read that has the potential to help so many young people discover their gender and feel like they're not alone. I felt so much joy through this book as Maia reached key milestones in eir gender journey and as ey had moments of gender euphoria. The art style was great too, very detailed but also easy to look at and absorb. The ending did feel a little abrupt but reinforced the well-understood circular queer experience of never having to stop coming out.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an autobiographical comic about Maia Kobabe’s gender identity. I understand why it has been such a challenged book because some of the scenes are very graphic, but I think it has an important purpose and message.
