Short in length but expansive in subject, Gender is Really Strange is a great informative, accessible introduction to a discussion of gender. 

This graphic novel tackles various aspects of gender: how it is different from sex, how colonization  led to erasing native cultural expressions of gender (or lack of it), how hormones work, and how and why people question their gender, among other topics.

It is a surface introduction to these topics, so don't expect something super in-depth if you already know these topics; the audience for this is people who know little to nothing about how gender really is just a social construct, and provides tools to help people take their first steps in deconstructing the gender binary on a personal level.

Though I was aware of many topics in here, I still found this very informative; I especially enjoyed the section on various native presentations of gender (or lack thereof) that colonization's enforcement of the gender binary eventually eclipsed.

We can always stand to learn something new, and Gender is Really Strange is a fantastic way to do so. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Jessica Kingsley Publishers for the opportunity to read this. Gender is Really Strange will be released on October 19th.
