What does it mean to be trans? Non-Binary? Gender Expansive?
What parts of gender come from society? What parts come from within?
How much is biology, and how much is socialization?
Part of the Really Strange series, this science-based graphic medicine comic addresses these questions and more, revealing the inherent messiness of gender identity and sex. A mysterious amalgam of biology and society, inherently sensed, yet societally-defined, the complexity of gender is revealed through examining neuroscience, biology, hormones, mental health, behaviour and how much of gender comes from society.
Exploring theories, thinkers, terminology, history and gender cultures around the world and across different religions, this easy-to-understand and engaging book will help you to question perceived norms and engage critically with your own gender identity. Get ready to break down the binary B.S. and celebrate gender in all its messy glory!

      Gr 10 Up-Self-identified trans, queer psychiatrist Goetz provides readers with an accessible introduction to a vast assortment of facts, factors, histories, and mysteries related to the concept of gender. Illustrated by Sophie Standing-a conceptual artist with a mission to improve health care communication through images-this collection of nuanced information can be used as both a reference book and as the launching pad for further exploration of the subject as a whole, or for one of its many particular points. Standing's art relies on a gently hued palette and suggests diversity of race, body type, physical movements, and age without revealing facial expressions. Many, but not all, of the asserted facts receive in-text notes that are sourced at the back of book. VERDICT Public, high school, and medical libraries serving patients all need this introduction. It would also support group reading and discussion.-Francisca Goldsmith
