 Thank you for sharing your story to us, Corey! Your story as a transgender, dealing with gender dysphoria, the bullying during school and the transition process made me teary 🥺 i wish you nothing but happiness for you, your sister and mom! ♥️

A good book for quite young kids with decent art. it should definitely be a jumping off point to a larger conversation about gender since this book does lack nuance. From my POV as a trans adult, it feels very narrow in perspective. Recommend as part of a larger collection for middle grade kids interested in these topics. It’s a good short story.

Engaging story. Will be a great resource for any kid looking for a mirror and for parents who might be wondering how to support their child. I'm not the biggest fan of the art style, but hearing the triumphant story of transitioning in a firsthand narrative outweighs my own personal aesthetic sensibilities.

Identity: A Story of Transitioning is a graphic memoir by Corey Maison.

Identity tells the complex and moving tale of a young person who knows that their true gender is not the one they were assigned at birth. With unconditional love and support from her mother, Corey successfully starts the transition process with hopes of being comfortable in her own skin, being accepted by others, and raising awareness of young people who wish to transition. At 16-years-old, Corey has become a voice for other trans teens, battling bullies and helping others who are on their own individual journeys of identity.

A transgender identity is valid regardless of medical treatment.

Zuiker Press is a publishing company that champions the voice of young authors. They spotlight heartfelt stories that enlighten and inspire.
