Fine: A Comic about Gender by Rhea Ewing 319 pp.
Rhea Ewing began a working on a college project that was to culminate in a 24 page zine about "what is gender?" After ten years and many interviews with friends, associates, and strangers they produced this book. During that time, Ewing, who never felt comfortable in their own body, came out as trans to their amazingly supportive family and friends. The interviews cover the topics of coming out, gender dysphoria, pronouns, abuse, body image, suicide, and many others. The most important take on all this is the need to find those who accept you as your are and make them your "tribe," then build on that.
