You can't say gay to little kids in Florida, out of a concern for parental rights, supposedly, but parents who are enabling their trans youth in Texas to get gender-affirming care are being labeled as child abusers. The comic book is a collection of stories of the people who are sometimes referred to as invisible and is an important narrative in a time when anti-trans and queer legislation is currently sweeping through the country. Author, Rhea Ewing, whose pronouns are they/them, navigates their own gender identity and gender dysmorphia while speaking with other queer people who have similar experiences. Yes, it's in comic book or graphic nonfiction, if you prefer, form. Now comes a creative and unique book that takes that on for all of us. Not just what kind of bodies they were born with, but who they are, who that means they are as people when they keep getting divided up that way? Some people struggle with understanding their gender and sexuality throughout their lives. What does that mean? What are those little kids thinking about who they are? Floridas don't say gay law precludes open discussion of gender identity, but it doesn't preclude their teachers from labeling them as boys and girls. It's not something that's easily discussed when you're young, right? Except when it is.
What is gender? What is femininity really? What is masculinity? For many people, straight people or any kind of LGBTQ+ people, questions about gender identity begin at a young age.
