Alternating back and forth between spirit and matter, between subject and object, between the many levels of vibration, this book is a fragment of my own never ending quest and of my experience, alive and therefore limited and subject to change. It is an attempt to share what I have discovered so far, using the "weapons" of a seeker tired of dogmas, opinions and impressions, amongst "truths" hidden in old sayings or fragments of ancient texts, by personal revelations based on understanding, comparison and logic and by applying the Universal Laws to the nature of things. The desire for knowledge is not a light burden; it is not easy to want to know and hold on to your goal while going through times when the constant occultation of the answers generates a dose of frustration that goes beyond human endurance. Moreover, it is not easy to share your findings with the world without being considered at least a lunatic, particularly when those findings tend to break well rooted patterns and tear away the ego. The Maia Journey even though so amazing in its uniqueness for each individual has a pattern which I have tried to outline in this book. To those on a personal quest it will be a useful tool, to others just another reading. To me, it is Manifesting Awareness Inside the All. Tamara

2020 ALA Alex Award Winner 2020 Stonewall — Israel Fishman Non-fiction Award Honor Book In 2014, Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns, thought that a comic of reading statistics would be the last autobiographical comic e would ever write. At the time, it was the only thing e felt comfortable with strangers knowing about em. Now, Gender Queer is here. Maia’s intensely cathartic autobiography charts eir journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere. This special deluxe hardcover edition of Gender Queer features a brand-new cover, exclusive art and sketches, and a TK from creator Maia Kobabe.
