{"product_id":"2940169153583","title":"Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom 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!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNaturally 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom Jacob's Methodist childhood and the hallowed halls of Duke University to the portrait-laden parlors of the White House, \u003ci\u003eSissy\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\" \u003ci\u003eSissy\u003c\/i\u003e guarantees that you'll never think about gender amp;mdash; both other people's and your own amp;mdash; the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47123131859184,"sku":"2940169153583","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169153583_p0.jpg?v=1763673971","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169153583","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
