This autobiographical collection was a gentle, thoughtful exploration into the nuance of gender-diverse identities told through the personal experiences of twenty-nine creators. It was expansive, covering many different experiences across gender, race, and ethnicity. And it was vulnerable. The creators of these comics didn't shy away from the pain their journeys carried, or the darkness they were in before they began--and often even after. This raw and real depiction of breaking out of the boxes you were born into is so necessary and important for people to see (and made me confront some doubts about my own gender as well, upon seeing myself in these pages more than I'd expected). 

My only qualm was that these comics were so short! I wish they could have been just a few pages longer each. Each comic gave such a tiny, specific glimpse into these creators' journeys, and I wanted to see more. But I loved how this collection gave us the about the author section right before their contribution--it allowed me to follow my favorites on social media right away, and find their other works before I forgot who they were by the end of the collection (as is usually the case for collections). So 4/5 stars, and my best wishes to all these creators to keep up the good work. Now off to read some webcomics from these creators!
