Summary:
"A heart-wrenching, eye-opening, and giggle-inducing memoir about what it's like to grow up not sure if you're (a) a boy, (b) a girl, (c) something in between, or (d) all of the above"--From publisher.
"From the moment a doctor in Raleigh, North Carolina, put 'male' on
Jacob
Tobia
's birth certificate, everything went wrong. Alongside 'male' came many other, far less neutral words: words that carried expectations about who
Jacob
was and who
Jacob
should be, words like 'masculine' and 'aggressive' and 'cargo shorts' and 'SPORTS!' Naturally sensitive, playful, creative, and glitter-obsessed, as a child
Jacob
was given the label 'sissy.' In the two decades that followed, 'sissy' joined forces with 'gay,' 'trans,' 'nonbinary,' and 'too-queer-to-function' to become a source of pride and, today, a rallying cry for a much-needed gender revolution. Through revisiting their childhood and calling out the stereotypes that each of us have faced,
Jacob
invites us to rethink what we know about gender and offers a bold blueprint for a healed world--one free from gender-based trauma and bursting with trans-inclusive feminism. From
Jacob
's Methodist upbringing and the hallowed halls of Duke University to the portrait-laden parlors of the White House, Sissy takes you on a gender odyssey you won't soon forget. Writing with the fierce honesty, wildly irreverent humor, and wrenching vulnerability that have made them a media sensation,
Jacob
shatters the long-held notion that people are easily sortable into 'men' and 'women.' Sissy guarantees that you'll never think about gender--both other people's and your own--the same way again."--Dust jacket.
