Description
Archie, a snarky genderqueer artist, is tired of people not understanding gender neutral pronouns. Tristan, a cisgender dude, is looking for an easy way to introduce gender neutral pronouns to his increasingly diverse workplace. The longtime best friends team up in this short and fun comic guide that explains what pronouns are, why they matter, and how to use them. They also include what to do if you make a mistake, and some tips-and-tricks for those who identify outside of the binary to keep themselves safe in this binary-focused world. A quick and easy resource for people who use they/them pronouns, and people who want to learn more!

"This short guide is in an affable, friendly way to answer some questions about gender-neutral language and give insight into the conversation from someone who is living that reality." * Teen Vogue * "A great, simple look at the importance of using correct pronouns; extremely accessible to those for whom gender-neutral language is a new concept." * School Library Journal (starred review) * "A funny and friendly guide to being respectful." -- Mara Wilson, actress and author of Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame "There are a lot of ways to teach people how to be good allies to non-binary people and others who use they/them pronouns, but in my opinion, a comic book with two friends having a conversation about how, when and why to use them while also making jokes and funny faces is absolutely the best way." * Autostraddle.com *More details
