An interesting memoir about a person deemed "male" at birth who realized pretty early on that he was different but not sure in what way. As he grows up, he decides he isn't a "he" so much or a "she" but evolving. From a childhood of being bullied to an adulthood of activism and acceptance, Tobia takes us through issues that a LOT of us have, theirs are just slightly different. I appreciated the concept that many of us have to figure out some gender issues. I mean, being male isn't just one thing, being female isn't just one thing, we all have to find our way a bit, even if the she/he thing fits you perfectly. Neither fit Jacob but they managed to figure out something that did. I loved hearing the authors voice. This book will help those that are confused by their own gender issues and those who just don't understand that there are issues about gender.
