Gender Queer is a quick read that holds a lot of wisdom in its pages. Queer and trans people will find many moments of resonance, and I see this book being an invaluable resource for friends and family members trying to better understand their non-binary (or otherwise trans or queer) loved one(s).

Injury/gore is metaphorical and features a character impaled on a spike in a couple of different instances. It metaphorically represents emotional/physical pain and features some amount of blood, nothing else. Blood warning mainly applies to menstrual blood.

So many big thoughts and emotions. I relate to almost all of eir experiences. I felt so seen yet so sad for the confusion and loneliness both of us possessed for so long. So tender yet informative, heartbreaking yet hopeful. Must read for everyone. Redefined what a graphic novel can look like for me.

I’m hopefully going to come back and add to my review once I detangle some of my feelings.

CW for transphobia, homophobia, medical content and trauma, Harry Potter references pre-JKR was openly a blatant transphobe, blood, vomit

1.5

Oh, surprise, une autobiographie de plus réalisée par une personne appartenant à l’alphabet mafia qui ne s’inscrit absolument pas dans une perspective intersectionnelle ! Quel plaisir !

Pour ne pas finir fâché, j’ai trouvé que la représentation la plus intéressante (car peu fréquente) était le rapport extrêmement compliqué du MC vis-à-vis de ses rdv « obligatoires » chez lae gynéco. Mais là encore on reste en surface.

Est-ce que je le conseille ? Pour un.e ado, peut-être. Sinon pitié non.

Beautiful and reflective graphic novel about the author's coming out story and relationship with gender. I could relate a lot but also got many new perspectives and I love media that makes us more empathetic. Also beautiful art style. And loved the fandom-references, they were very relatable (unfortunately)
