At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Then e created \n\u003ci\u003eGender Queer\u003c\/i\u003e. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fan fiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, \n\u003ci\u003eGender Queer\u003c\/i\u003e is more than a personal story: It is a useful and touching guide on gender identity--what it means and how to think about it--for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This special annotated edition calls on voices from academic and creative communities to further shed light on the creation of Kobabe's work--from exploring the technicalities of comic creation to highlighting personal anecdotes from a host of writers and artists discussing their own experiences growing up queer.
