At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Then e created \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, \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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis special deluxe hardcover edition of \u003ci\u003eGender Queer\u003c\/i\u003e features a brand-new cover, exclusive art and sketches, a foreword from ND Stevenson, \u003ci\u003eLumberjanes \u003c\/i\u003ewriter and creator of \u003ci\u003eShe-Ra and the Princesses of Power\u003c\/i\u003e, and an afterword from Maia Kobabe.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaia Kobabe is a nonbinary, queer author and illustrator from the Bay Area, California.
