Reviews / Votes
Hurray for Stephie and her friends in The Best Of Assigned Male! Labelle's comics are wonderfully sharp, with all the wry humor and hearty indignation that transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming kids deserve, and her written narrative provides valuable context. Get all the lip gloss! -- Alex Gino, Stonewall-Award winning author of Melissa's Story (a.k.a. GEORGE) Sophie makes it possible to imagine a world in which the lives of trans youths are possible and happy. This is a world in which critical conversations can take place and which fosters alternatives to the daily discrimination that trans people face. Thanks to Sophie, this is not a utopian future, but rather a dream within our grasp. -- Lucas Platero, Spanish trans scholar and activistMore details
