Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe
4.0

This comic was educational and interesting. Maia take us through er history of not wanting to be a boy, and not wanting to be a girl. Of just wanting to be er self and figure out who that really is. The author holds back nothing. We get to see periods, wishing for a penis (and what that specific arousal is called), and even horrified trips to the doctors. I found once I started this story I didn’t want to put it down. I wish there was a bit more at the end, but I also understand that Maia has to live more life in order for us to get more of her evolution of self. I think this book would be great not only for those who have not figured out their identity yet, but for those of us that have, as it gives the reader a glimpse into another life, and a way to start learning proper vocabulary and understanding.
