This is a very personal story as Kobabe traces eir life from childhood and eir first understanding of and struggles with gender through to the present. While it is personal, Kobabe offers definitions and resources as e come across them and I’m sure eir gender journey would not be entirely unfamiliar with others who have or are currently going through similar explorations.
There are humorous moments interspersed with touching ones, and while I would’ve liked more of a resolution for the book (not that I’m expecting the author to have a final endpoint of eir gender), it was a very enjoyable and informative book to explore some aspects of gender and sexuality through one person’s experiences.
