This edition contains an interview with the author (pages 321-336). 520 $a "As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they just had too much of the stuff. Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were "a boy," they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation. It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride. Following Jacob through bullying and beauty contests, from Duke University to the United Nations to the podiums of the Methodist church--not to mention the parlors of the White House--this unforgettable memoir contains multitudes. A deeply personal story of trauma and healing, a powerful reflection on gender and self-acceptance, and a hilarious guidebook for wearing tacky clip-on earrings in today's world, Sissy guarantees you'll never think about gender--both other people's and your own--the same way again."--Publisher's description. 505 00 $t A conversation with Jacob Tobia. $g Epilogue: $t Kiddo -- $t The girls next door -- $t Nerds and wizards and Jesus, oh my! -- $t Inharmonious hormones -- $g Part II. $t Teenage dreams -- $t A very dramatic (first) coming out -- $t In my own two shoes, on my own two feet -- $g Part III. $t Big queen on campus -- $t A gothic wonderland, a major letdown -- $t Beloved token -- $t Sissy, femme, queer, and proud -- $t Dear Mom and Dad -- $g Epilogue: $t Notes to self -- $t A conversation with Jacob Tobia. 600 10 $a Tobia, Jacob, $d 1991- 650 0 $a Gender-nonconforming people $z United States $v Biography. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611013546.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20220628011234.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=266E5F4AB18111ECB5BF500951ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b LS@Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
