Tomboy survival guide

By Ivan E Coyote

Biography, LGBTQ+ biography, Canadian non-fiction, Canadian authors (Non-fiction)

Human-narrated audio

Summary

A memoir told in stories, about how Coyote learned to embrace their tomboy past while carving out a space for those of us who don't fit neatly into boxes or identities or labels. Ivan writes about their years as a… young butch, dealing with new infatuations and old baggage, and life as a gender-box-defying adult, in which they offer advice to young people while seeking guidance from others. (And for tomboys in training, there are even directions on building your very own unicorn trap.) Recounts Ivan's past as a diffident yet free-spirited tomboy, and maps their journey through treacherous gender landscapes and a maze of labels that don't quite stick, to a place of self-acceptance and an authentic and personal strength. 2016.
