<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Ever wonder what "nonbinary" or "gender nonconforming" really means? Why would someone choose to identify that way? And how the heck do you use "they/them" pronouns for a singular person - isn't it supposed to be plural? This charming and disarming guide promises to unpack all these questions and more, with a fun, visual infographic approach"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"This tender, smart, personal book is a gift. Stuart Getty generously shows us, with witty illustrations and kind humor, the hows and whys of they/them pronouns. A wonderful and necessary resource that is a delight to read."<br></b>--Michelle Tea, author of <i>Modern Tarot</i> and <i>Valencia</i><b> <p/></b>What does nonbinary really mean? What is gender nonconforming? And isn't <i>they</i> a plural pronoun? In this charming and disarming guide, a real-life <i>they</i>-using genderqueer writer unpacks all your burning questions in a fun, visual way. No soapboxes or divisive comment-section wars here! <p/>Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always human, this gender-friendly primer will get you up to speed. It's about more than just bathrooms and pronouns--this is about gender expression and the freedom to choose how to identify. While <i>they</i> might only be for some, that freedom is for everyone! <p/><b>"[A] clear, kind guide to gender nonconformity. Getty's cheeky tone and the punchy black-and-white illustrations by Brooke Thyng make this book a useful reference for anyone with questions about gender, whether their own or those they witness in the larger world."</b><br><i>--Booklist</i> <p/><b>"Straightforward, practical, relevant navigation through the radiant world of gender fluidity."</b><br><i>--Kirkus Reviews</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This is totally cool. It's an accessibly rigorous introduction to the singular they pronoun and likewise this, I think, workbook paws around connecting they-ness to the bordering and genuinely simultaneous realm of sexuality in its multiplicity of ways of feeling not 'like' but genuinely truly<i> being</i> oneself. Also the drawings are good, it just all feels direct (phew)--which is what we need--and it would be a boon to hand this book to so many people, so please do that. Plus it's a useful read to remind yourself that you aren't alone and do exist. I'm glad to have read it."<br><b>--Eileen Myles, poet and author of <i>Chelsea Girls</i> <br></b> <br>"Straightforward, practical, relevant navigation through the radiant world of gender fluidity."<br><b><i>--Kirkus Reviews<br></i></b><br>"<i>How to They/Them</i> is an easy visual learning guide to accompany us on the journey to accepting others as they truly are. The more tools the better!"<br><b>--Jinkx Monsoon, winner of <i>RuPaul's Drag Race</i><br></b> <br>"Utterly cute and tremendously useful. A remarkably valuable, versatile, and accessible source of education on gender identity."<br><b>--Alok Vaid-Menon, author of <i>Beyond the Gender Binary</i><br></b> <br>"<i>How to They/Them</i> is a friendly, gentle, entertaining introduction to gender, taking they/them pronouns as a starting point but covering so much more. With sweet illustrations, helpful timelines, and generous personal examples, Stuart Getty takes the reader by the hand and tells them everything they need to know about how to navigate the confusing, ever-shifting landscape of sex and gender. This book will give nonbinary readers a sense of being profoundly seen and everyone else the confidence to make the world that little bit safer for their nonbinary friends, family, and colleagues.
