From laser hair removal and coming out to her parents, through to
dating, voice training and gender reassignment surgery, this
intimate and witty graphic novel follows the character of Lily as
she transitions to living as her true, female self. Providing
support and guidance on a range of issues such as hormones, medical
procedures and relationships, the story traces the everyday
thoughts, emotions and struggles many trans and non-binary people
face and seeks to empower those who are starting to question their
gender as well as promoting wider discussion about the complexities
of gender and identity. Based on the author's own experiences as a
trans woman, this honest and powerful work is a testament to being
who you are and a celebration of gender diversity.
'We don't just come out once. We have to come out continually
throughout our lives. And as we grow and change and reach a
newfound understanding of who we are, we come out once again in a
whole new way.' Following the interconnected lives of a diverse
queer community - including asexual, polyamorous, trans and
autigender people - this empowering graphic novel explores the
multitude of ways a person's identity and relationships can be
expressed and can change over time. From Lily coming out as a
lesbian after coming out as a trans woman, to Leanne embracing
their genderqueer identity in later life, to Ty navigating their
queerness with their autistic identity, these stories illustrate
how life lived at the intersection of gender, sexuality, race and
class is often a journey with many chapters. Full of love and pride
- as well as tips and advice - these witty, tender and inspiring
narratives prove there is no wrong way to be who you are, so long
as you are being true to yourself.
