On gender

• The New Gender Workbook: a step-by-step guide to achieving world peace through gender anarchy and sex positivity by Kate Bornstein
• Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

Anything queer, not necessarily bi+

• Straight: the surprisingly short history of heterosexuality by Hanne Blank
  • No, this book isn’t only about straight people. Of course people had “straight” and “queer” relationships throughout history, but the word “heterosexual” wasn’t used until the 1860s. A look at how culture has changed in relationship to sexuality and how the words we use have a lot of history that affects our thinking. This is a more academic book but it’s surprisingly readable, and Blank includes a lot of personal anecdotes about her life with her intersex partner. Read the footnotes!

Graphic novels and other genre-busters

• Tomboy: a graphic memoir by Liz Prince
• Fun Home: a family tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
  • One of my favorite graphic memoirs - recently made into a Broadway musical. Don’t bother with the sequel, unfortunately.
• The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman (various artists)
  • I’m including this one because it has one of the best (and sadly, still one of the only) representations of an androgynous, agender person. This series is dark and gritty and phenomenal. Multnomah County Library will loan you the Absolute Sandman (these are $100+ books!) and they are so worth it.
• Honor Girl: a graphic memoir by Maggie Thrash
  • Maggie’s attended a very religious, all-girl summer camp her entire life. When she’s 15, she realizes she has a crush on one of her counselors.
• Smut Peddler by Iron Circus Comics
  • This is porn, y’all.
