Welcome to Litsy!

Still surprised at how amazing this format is for communicating feeling and a deep understanding; my love for graphic memoirs grows with each I read. In Us, Sara and Diana share their relationship before, during, and after Diana‘s transition. Sexuality and gender norms are explored and explained, with careful consideration of the fact that this is one experience and all are as individual as people going through this. Translated from the Spanish.

September #bookspin list ~ let‘s go

This is such a sweet, honest look at one couple's experience with an individual's transition. The author doesn't shy away from the lows and the struggles, but it is a very affirming read. She does a great job of giving space for both her and her partner's voice. It was wonderful to read their story, and I'm grateful that they were comfortable sharing their journey.

Beautiful, powerful story. Told with grace, clarity, and a total lack of fear or self-pity.

Goetsch does the thing nearly all writers try to do but few succeed at - she tells her own unique story in a way that makes it universal. Very brave story of a person trying to understand themselves. Especially powerful to me since her struggles came at a time when there was so little knowledge, language, and awareness around gender identity.

Beautiful illustrations and a wonderful story.

Enjoy!

This is a cis girl and her trans girlfriend but it reminds me a lot of accompanying my daughter to the women's bathroom. 😂 Very cute graphica memoir about how Sara's “boyfriend“ decided to transition and they stayed happily together.

In light of the executive order made by our uninformed new president, declaring that there are only two genders, I would like to help fellow readers become better educated. Here are six books written by and/or centering on the experiences of non-binary and transgender people. I wish I had a recommendation with some intersex representation, but I can‘t think of anything at the moment. Feel free to suggest other great books in the comments below.
