I really enjoyed reading this book, as a nonbinary person myself, and seeing the difference in how Maia was brought up and discovered eir identity!
I found myself relating to certain things and empathizing, even leaning new things like eir pronouns. I never had a community like em and it makes me happy reading that at least others can see the importance and also gain some confidence in knowing that others go through the same things and that they're not alone.
I really appreciated this book :)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an autobiographical comic about Maia Kobabe’s gender identity. I understand why it has been such a challenged book because some of the scenes are very graphic, but I think it has an important purpose and message.

I absolutely LOVED this book! Why did I relate so much to Maia's experiences??? Not to even mention how clearly and succinctly e was able to put eir thoughts and feelings (which also happen to be the same thoughts and feelings I've been having) into words. It's so so sooooo relatable. The storytelling, the art style, EVERYTHING. I was on the verge of tears at certain points throughout the story and I would've definitely cried if I wasn't in public surrounded by people 😂 Either way, I really loved this book and I plan to reread it at some point so I can take notes of all the books, media and concepts that e mentioned. Would recommend to just about anyone who's interested tbh lmao

Misgendering was accidental. And all the times blood was brought up, it was menstrual blood.

Really beautiful. I'd recommend this to anyone - queer folks, loved ones of queer folks, people questioning their gender/sexuality, people wanting to learn more about gender/sexuality. I wish I had had this book when I was a teen.
