"This tender, smart, personal book is a gift. Stuart Getty generously shows us, with witty illustrations and kind humor, the hows and whys of they/them pronouns. A wonderful and necessary resource that is a delight to read." -Michelle Tea, author of Modern Tarot and Valencia
What does nonbinary really mean? What is gender nonconforming? And isn't they a plural pronoun? In this charming and disarming guide, a real-life they-using genderqueer writer unpacks all your burning questions in a fun, visual way. No soapboxes or divisive comment-section wars here!
Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, always human, this gender-friendly primer will get you up to speed. It's about more than just bathrooms and pronouns--this is about gender expression and the freedom to choose how to identify. While they might only be for some, that freedom is for everyone!
"[A] clear, kind guide to gender nonconformity. Getty's cheeky tone and the punchy black-and-white illustrations by Brooke Thyng make this book a useful reference for anyone with questions about gender, whether their own or those they witness in the larger world." -Booklist
"Straightforward, practical, relevant navigation through the radiant world of gender fluidity." -Kirkus Reviews

What I liked: • This was such a cute (and funny) book! • This book explains everything from gender identities to grammar and being an ally to trans people, and it’s very easy and fun to read. • I think “How to They/Them” will be very helpful for cis allies and also trans people who want to start using they/them pronouns.
What I didn’t like: • “They is a gender identity” – No!!! They is a pronoun, and anyone (no matter which gender) can use it! • Some of the definitions for gender identities and sexual orientations were… weird. Not completely wrong, but weird.
