520    "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"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    "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 upbringing 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 and 
       your own--the same way again."--Dust jacket.
