The Best of Assigned Male by Sophie Labelle
Includes New and Never Before Seen Stories! Follow young trans girl, Stephie, and her group of queer friends as they navigate school, family and relationships, and experiences of being trans. Humorous and acerbic, this ground-breaking graphic narrative brilliantly explores the journey of discovering and embracing your evolving gender identity, and promotes a sense of community and empowerment through artfully illustrated stories. Based on the hugely successful and influential webcomic Assigned Male, and in print for the first time, this expanded collection contains exclusive content as well as familiar, well-loved characters.
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 contextGet 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 activist
