                             Introduction                             
======================================================================
'Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story' is a 2019 memoir written by Jacob
Tobia, and published by Putnam, an imprint of Penguin Group.


                          Critical reception                          
======================================================================
'The New York Times' wrote "Tobia makes clear early on that this book
will not be your traditional 'Transgender 101'. Even so, through
evocative rhetoric, the memoir subtly educates even the most
uninformed reader about the spectrum of nonbinary identities by
recounting Tobia’s various coming-out experiences, their initial
refuge in their Methodist faith and their gradual self-discovery and
advocacy as a visible student at a Southern university."

'Kirkus Reviews' writes "Though the author sometimes overdoes the
self-congratulation and snarkiness, these flaws are more than overcome
by the feisty candor and wit, especially when discussing their
relationship with their parents and the church that at first rejected
but then finally accepted Tobia’s sparkling 'queer spirit.' A funny,
sharply observed, and intelligent journey into self-identity."

In 2019, Showtime announced it would develop a half-hour show based on
the memoir. As of the 2019 announcement, there has been no update on
series production.
