pickI listed to this one on audio. Tobia highlights what it was like growing up in NC (Raleigh area, which I went to college & lived in the area for several years). Tobia came out as a teen and then when he went to college (at Duke) he realized he was a gender nonconformity non-binary person. He discusses issues like tokenism, power structures (ie universities like Duke) which hold up systems that make it difficult for individuals like them as well as
ncsufoxes to make it through all the obstacles that can be in place. They also brought up the struggles they faced with their parents in understanding their identity. They discussed writing this book to help others share their stories since non-binary, trans, & nonconformity stories are not widely shared. It is important to hear others stories‘ as they write their truths. #bookspin book, #nomfiction2023 prompt: True Colors 13mo
