Gender is Really Strange

by Teddy G. Goetz Author and Sophie Standing Illustrator

This science-based graphic medicine comic explores the complexity of gender, including its origins, societal influences, and personal identity exploration. It contrasts gender, shaped by society and culture, with the biological concept of sex, emphasizing a non-binary perspective. Part of the Really Strange series, the comic challenges traditional understandings by examining transgender, non-binary, and gender expansive identities. It delves into the intersection of biology and social factors through neuroscience, biology, hormones, and behavior, illuminating the mysterious nature of gender identity. Featuring diverse global perspectives and histories, the book encourages readers to critically reflect on their own gender identity, promoting acceptance of the diverse spectrum of gender expressions beyond binary norms.

Part of the Really Strange series, this book makes a wonderful addition to those fond Pain Is Really Strange, Trauma Is Really Strange, and Anxiety Is Really Strange.
