Sissy
By:Jacob Tobia
Published on 2019-03-05 by Penguin

A heart-wrenching, eye-opening, and giggle-inducing memoir about what it's like to grow up not sure if you're (a) a boy, (b) a girl, (c) something in between, or (d) all of the above. |When the political reality facing this country seems dark, we need shinier, sparklier thinkers in the public eye. With a signature style matched only by their wit, Jacob fits that bill perfectly.| --Alan Cumming From the moment a doctor in Raleigh, North Carolina, put |male| on Jacob Tobia's birth certificate, everything went wrong. Alongside |male| came many other, far less neutral words: words that carried expectations about who Jacob was and who Jacob should be, words like |masculine| and |aggressive| and |cargo shorts| and |SPORTS!| Naturally sensitive, playful, creative, and glitter-obsessed, as a child Jacob was given the label |sissy.| In the two decades that followed, |sissy| joined forces with |gay,| |trans,| |nonbinary,| and |too-queer-to-function| to become a source of pride and, today, a rallying cry for a much-needed gender revolution. Through revisiting their childhood and calling out the stereotypes that each of us have faced, Jacob invites us to rethink what we know about gender and offers a bold blueprint for a healed world--one free from gender-based trauma and bursting with trans-inclusive feminism. From Jacob's Methodist childhood and the hallowed halls of Duke University to the portrait-laden parlors of the White House, Sissy takes you on a gender odyssey you won't soon forget. Writing with the fierce honesty, wildly irreverent humor, and wrenching vulnerability that have made them a media sensation, Jacob shatters the long-held notion that people are easily sortable into |men| and |women.| Sissy guarantees that you'll never think about gender--both other people's people's and your own--the same way again.
