Gender Failure, by Rae Spoon and Ivan E Coyote

[sophia_sol]

I had a lot of feels, reading this book. I'm not good at feelings so I have no idea WHAT my feels were but I definitely had them. I spent a reasonable portion of the book in tears, but I think in a good way? It's just so - ....reading an entire book by and about two people whose identities don't fit in the gender binary was a really affirming experience, I think. It's like, my experience doesn't exactly line up with either of these two people but it's SO MUCH CLOSER than any other published works I've read in my life. Also Rae and Ivan are both very good writers/storytellers so it was a very good book as well as being a very personally-relevant book. I liked it a LOT.

Highly recommended! Of the (few) books about nonbinary gender I've read so far, this one is by far the best
