Join Broward County Libraries Director All ison Grubbs in a fun and thorough examination of Gender Queer: A Memoi r by Maia Kobabe. \;
\nIn 2014\, Maia Kobabe\, who uses e/em/eir pronouns\, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be t he last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time\, it was th e only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. \;Now \, Gender Queer \;is here. Maia&rsquo\;s intensely cathartic autobiogr aphy charts eir journey of self-identity\, which includes the mortificatio n and confusion of adolescent crushes\, grappling with how to come out to family and society\, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction\, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears.
\n< em>Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual\, \;Gender Queer \;is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity&mdash\;what it means and how to think about it&mdash\;for advocates\, friends\, and humans everywh ere.
