pickA collection of humorous comic strips following two (and then more) friends in their messy lives and queer experiences. The characters are heartfelt, and I enjoyed seeing their relationships grow. This style of comic never really resonates with me, so I can't speak to whether it will resonate with readers. #LGBTQIA #Humor #Comics
Didn't love the art style and *really* didn't love how relevant all the political content still or again is 😭 but this is a funny and warmhearted collection of comics. A group of queer friends, all with their own complicated identities or lack thereof, find their way through money problems, dating disasters, terrrible laws, and terrible decisions, with each other to lean on and learn from.

pick"Affirming your gender can be joyful and safe! If your current binding method isn't doing it for you, experiment with other methods. There is a better one out there for you." ?️⚧️
I read this to improve my understanding of the non-binary and transmasc experience of binding, and to inform my work in a general NHS counselling service, which is accessible for trans clients.
This graphic guide has personal accounts of several people who bind, ⬇️
pickAn eye-opening and vulnerable sharing of the author‘s coming-out story as non-binary, in a culture that still is largely fixated on people identifying as one gender or the other, even if they are LGBT. I particularly appreciated the author‘s emergence reflected in varying responses of friends and family and ongoing fear of coming out and how to articulate it. I could also appreciate the extreme pain of a Pap test! #Nonfiction2024 #Genderqueer

I've never read, nor thought about reading Jane Eyre, but I am loving this genderqueer retelling sans any context whatsoever.

The book tells the story of young Riley Cavanaugh, a gender fluid adolescent who writes a blog about their experiences and identity. The story revolves around Riley's life and their eventual decision to come out as gender fluid to the world.
