Gender Is Really Strange by Teddy G. Goetz

challenging informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

 No matter what your political beliefs are or your age, everyone needs to read this book with an open mind. This book obviously talks a lot about gender and deconstructs the roles of masculinity and femininity. It makes you wonder if everything you were told as a child was actually something you agreed with. For a graphic novel, this book gives just the ton of information I wish I had when I was so desperately trying to find answers and getting nowhere with, like, who I am? And what does it mean to be male or female? Why do I feel like none of those and, at the same time, still identify with those labes? It also helps further my argument that not everything needs to be labeled. Dress how you want, act how you want, and be who you want. Life is too short to be what others are telling you to be. I also absolutely love the sources at the end of the book. This book should be included with teaching a child sex education, which I highly recommend.
