Maia Kobabes Genderqueer er en fabelaktig tegneseriebok som utforsker kjønn, identitet og hvordan man finner sin plass i verden.

Med sin egen personlige historie som utgangspunkt, tar Kobabe oss med på en reise gjennom sin oppdagelse av sin egen kjønnsidentitet. Boken er et intimt og modig portrett av en kunstners kamp for å finne seg selv og akseptere sin egen unike identitet.

Genderqueer har blitt hyllet av kritikere og lesere over hele verden for sin åpenhet, ærlighet og sitt kraftfulle budskap. The Guardian beskrev boken som en viktig, smertefull og dypt personlig bok, mens Publisher's Weekly kalte den modig og rørende. For boken ble Kobabe tildelt Stonewall Book Award og Alex Award. Kobabe har også blitt nominert til flere prestisjetunge priser, inkludert Eisner-prisen og Lambda Literary Award.

Nå er Genderqueer endelig tilgjengelig på norsk, og det er en glede å kunne introdusere denne unike og viktige boken …

A beautiful book

If you’ve had questions about your gender, or questions about what it’s like to be transgender or non-binary, please read this book.

Obviously every trans person experiences the world differently, but Kobabe’s frank and thoughtful exploration of eir’s own gender was profoundly moving.

I can’t fully address the bigots who wish to ban this book, and I believe there are far more cogent responses than what I could compose. But this book is beautiful and profound, not disgusting or immoral.

This is a book dedicated to helping people find safety and comfort in their bodies and their identities. I hope enough people read this to cancel out the bigotry.

Beautiful and insightful

Maia's story is an excellent exploration of gender exploration, the lengthy self-discovery process, and the challenges (and satisfaction!) that comes from trying to be accepted for your authentic self. The book contains many references to other great reading materials, and I've already pulled out tons of quotes when discussing these topics.

Highly recommend this book, whether you feel it relates to you, people you know and love, or just the world around you.

Relatable and authentic

It is clear that Maia is vulnerable and open with the reader throughout. Maia provides great insight into the experience of gender nonconformity as a child, and this book is a quick important read for anyone with others in their life who may have gone, or be going through, something similar.

biopic done right

the "prologue" is about em saying (at some point in eir life) that e would never work on an autobiography and you think "haha fun", but, well, jokes on us because there is so much untold in this book. and trust me when i say that, im an expert in hanging out with people for years without them really know much about me lol.

anyway, jokes aside, havent read a biopic in ages and this was a great come back. loved everything about it. also, it's so nice to follow other queer people identity journeys to discover traits in common, but also find out about things you never thought before.

highly reccomended, als if you're cis and straight. it's a very friendly and non-conflictual book so your fragilities won't be felt attacked. eheh!

Review of 'Gender Queer' on 'Goodreads'

An impressive "graphic memoir." One of the few comic-book-style memoirs I've ever read, and one that I couldn't put down. I'm a slow reader and it only took me an hour or two to get through it. The illustrations are top-notch and the writing is engaging, as well. An important work that everyone should read and learn from.

Personal note on the research mentioned: Touching a Nerve, by Patricia S. Churchland.
