In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns,thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographicalcomic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortablewith strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia's intenselycathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes themortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to comeout to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, andfacing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way toexplain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer ismore than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on genderidentity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates,friends, and humans everywhere.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY -- This heartfelt graphic memoirrelates, with sometimes painful honesty, the experience of growing upnon-gender-conforming. From a very young age, Kobabe is unsure whether to claima lesbian/gay, bisexual, or even transgender identity: “I don't want to bea girl. I don't want to be a boy either. I just want to be myself.” Kobabecomes of age having to navigate expressions of identity such as clothing andhaircuts, with fraught attempts at romantic and sexual entanglements.Eventually, Kobabe's supportive sister concludes: “I think you're agenderless person.” (Kobabe: “She knew before I did.”)
