In 2014¸ Maia Kobabe—who uses e\/em\/eir pronouns—thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time¸ it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Then e created Gender Queer. 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¸ Gender Queer 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. This special annotated edition calls on voices from academic and creative communities to further shed light on Kobabe's work—exploring the technicalities of comic creation¸ the history of the LGBTQIA+ community¸ and highlighting personal anecdotes from a host of writers and artists discussing their own experiences growing up queer. Featuring commentary from designer and animator Phoebe Kobabe (The ABCs of Identities)¸ cartoonist Ashley R. Guillory (Queers at the Table)¸ Dr. Sandra Cox (professor of English at Southwest Missouri State University)¸ Matthew Noe (Lead Collection \u0026amp; Knowledge Management Librarian at Harvard Medical School)¸ author Hal Schrieve (Fawn's Blood)¸ and many more¸ this beautiful hardcover edition promises to be a wonderful educational tool for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ONI PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41105762680890,"sku":"1225ON0921","price":89.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0265\/6609\/9002\/files\/1225ON0921_2b71b527-d95d-4b51-a8e4-944d3709dc63.jpg?v=1777101076","url":"https:\/\/comicbookeroo.com\/products\/gender-queer-hc-the-annotated-edition-1225on0921","provider":"Comicbookeroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
