Maia Kobabe

Una autobiografía útil y conmovedora sobre la identidad de género y todo lo que conlleva. Maia Kobabe narra en esta catártica autobiografía lo que significa ser no binario y asexual. El viaje hasta descubrir su verdadera identidad en el que se relata la confusión de los amores adolescentes, la lucha por salir del armario, los amigos que hizo escribiendo fanfiction gay o el trauma que le supone ir al ginecólogo. Género Queer es más que su historia, es una guía imprescindible sobre género para aliados, amigos y humanos de cualquier parte. Maia Kobabe se graduó en la especialidad de cómic en el California College of the Arts. Con Género Queer ha Ganado un Alex Award, el Stonewall Book Award y ha sido nominada a otros premios. Maia es no binaria, queer y utiliza el pronombre e.

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. Maias 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 identitywhat it means and how to think about itfor advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.
