This made me feel all of the feels. My only complaint is that it just ends so abruptly.

i especially picked out this read because i saw a of the most-banned books in the us. 
and the only „disturbing“ (quote from sources across the internet that explained why they banned this book) thing about this graphic novel are the horrible reviews by the TERs, transphobes or ignorant people on here. 

this graphic novel depicts the process of gender-identity finding in a beautiful and relatable way that gives cis-gender people an opportunity to comprehend the struggles of trans* people in general and the author and eir journey more.
additionally, this book is very educational and e.g. explains the biological factors that determine whether someone is trans* in a way that is very easy to read. 

i understand that this is for a bit of an older audience since it does have a few content warnings but these should just be pointed out, instead of banning the whole book.

I loved this book, it’s the audio version of a graphic novel and the story was good I just wish it was longer! So cute with full cast!

I could hardly put this down and blew through it in 2 days (and would have been 1, if not for that pesky work thing).

A really lovely memoir and reflection on gender identity and sexuality. I loved the family relationships.
The ending felt like it needed another beat or two; I actually thought I was missing a few pages.
