Your third Thursdays are about to get a little more interesting! Come join us as we meet Virtually around the Zoom screen! Get together with like-minded Comic Book and Graphic Novel lovers to discuss some interesting reads.
Join us as we discuss this informative Comic Book Book Club choice for Pride month "Gender Queer : A Memoir" by Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe as a group!
Summary: "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. Now, Gender Queer is here. 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 fanfiction, 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."--Provided by publisher.
