The art is super adorable and the writing is simple, funny and super easy to follow! I was already familiar with gender neutral pronouns before going in and found this guide to be perfect for people who want a foundation to build their understanding of non-binary people and their experiences!

Quick, cute, funny, and heart-felt, totally would recommend! I breezed right through it and though nothing is new to me, I still felt like reading it was time well soent.

Upfront and honest about its subject matter, funny and charming from start to finish, clear as crystal with its guidance, and above all, enormously helpful. This is a fantastic resource that I want in my library as soon as possible.

Well that was enlightening - I never knew what any of the words meant - I had seen a video online where individuals label people as what they think they are - and I had no idea what anything meant, this was quite informative - though they now need a book about ALL individuals, because there were some words used in that video I still have no idea what they mean - a guide like this for all genders would be superb. The graphics were cute and the "voices" in it were also well done and thought out. A great GN for those wanting to learn a bit about gender neutrality!

From the full article "A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns is exactly what it says on the cover, helping to raise awareness and increase understanding. A good buy for anyone wanting to be more inclusive of non-binary identifying people."

As somebody who uses they pronouns from time to time, this guide is everything the name implies, with it's easy-to-read but informing mixed in with some comedy that doesn't take you out of message of the guide.

While it's made for people who don't understand the pronouns, more so than people who use pronouns such as these, there is still some great tips for people who need help with people misunderstanding and coming out.

The artwork feels like if Noelle Stevenson helped Scott McCloud on his non-fiction books about comics, but that's a positive thing.

This book was provided by the Publisher through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Netgalley and Oni Press!

An excellent , clear and concise book that I would highly recommend, in fact I think at the minimum every school library should have a copy. This short graphic novel, created by a team including a non binary artist doesn't skirt around the issue, instead it offers surprisingly common sense advice about how to be inclusive and respectful of those who do not identify with a specific gender, how cisgendered people can be advocates and allies, and also suggestions and advice for non binary people about coming out and seeking support. Designed to be simple enough for middle grade aged readers, there is plenty for adults to learn too.

The fact that people even need a guide for this sort of stuff is a little upsetting, but you know, Rome wasn't built in a day and all that. I'm not claiming to be perfect, I myself have mis-gendered people a number of times throughout my life and I work hard every day to get better at NOT doing this. Books like this would be really handy for everyone to have a copy of, particularly if they were in schools! And this one does exactly what it says on the cover!

I liked the way this was presented. The artwork was cute and made things a lot easier to understand (I myself am a very visual learner) for those that don't JUST want to read theory. The two narrators teaching here are important, not only because their playful dynamic adds an element of fun to the lesson they are trying to teach, but because it's really good to hear from both perspectives. Tristan is a cis male, and Archie a non-binary person and they are both necessary. Archie brings the passion and frustration and allows us to sympathise, while Tristan keeps things calm and inspires empathy. A necessary dynamic for a book like this to work on a bigger level!

Comics are a great way to deliver information easily and readers retain the information more in the graphic novel medium. This is a well written book covering an important transition in our society. My only disappointment was the lack of explanation for “cis” and the like. I get that the creators want to keep the book as well as encourage and expect the reader to do additional research. However, I was distracted by not having the definitions and/or history. Overall, a great book and I wish the creators the best and hope this the first in a series.

The concept of gender neutral pronouns isn't new to me but this comic was a great guide and I wish I had had it back when I was learning about gender neutral pronouns. I thought it was very well executed and I'd definitely recommend this to anyone confused by gender neutral pronouns, or anyone dealing with someone confused by gender neutral pronouns.

Although at first glance this appears to be a book about grammar it is more about LGBT and would be useful for pshe in the UK

It is an American graphic novel so there are bits of vocabulary which would need to be changed e g 3rd grade.

This is not such an issue in the UK as it is in America so perhaps this is why it is very much an American style and vocabulary thats used.

A humorous look at how people present themselves in spoken language similar to the outrage of the ms vs miss issue, which occurs when somebody is not sure whether you are married or not.

I received a free copy from net galley.com for my fair and honest review.

I picked this up from the Read Now shelf on netgalley hoping to find something informative that I could recommend others, and that's exactly what this was. I knew almost everything that was in this short comic, but I still learned some new stuff. Since English isn't my first language, I found the quick guides on how to use gender-neutral language pretty useful because sometimes I'm not sure what terms are gendered and which aren't or how to substitute a gendered noun etc.

Throughout the book I was also trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who's completely new to the concept of non-binary people and read it through their eyes. I think the authors did a great job at summarizing both the technicalities of gender-neutral language and the effects that misgendering may have on genderqueer people. Everything was backed up by useful, everyday examples.

The first part of the comic is directed at cis people who want to learn about gender-neutral language (especially using they/them when talking to/about someone who uses these pronouns) and want to support their enby friends. The second part is directed at non-binary people themselves, with advice on what to do in different situations.

I feel weird judging a book like this because I don't think it's really my place, but I definitely recommend reading it if you're new to these concepts and also if you're cis and an ally but still want a reminder of what to do and not to do. It's also something great to buy (once it comes out as a physical copy) and leave at your workplace (like suggested in the book itself) or anywhere you might want to implement gender-neutral language to help your non-binary colleagues/friends feel included.

It’s our responsibility as a decent human being to learn and use whatever pronouns they ask us to.
A quick educating guide with nice graphic how to use pronouns.

I do love all things Manga...but I have found that it's best to review/open this up on my Ipad/Tablet Kindle app as it doesn't load well or open properly on the Kindle Keyboard or Kindle Paperwhite Ereader

‘A Quick and Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns’ does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a really simple guide to those who don’t know about or understand they/them pronouns. It’s really short and a sort of graphic novel which was unexpected and something I really loved about it.

This is the kind of book that you give to the ignorant cis-gendered people in your life who just can’t seem to wrap their heads around the concept of they/them pronouns. It gives tips on how to ask someone what their pronouns are as well as how to come out as non-binary, genderqueer, genderfluid etc. You cannot get more simple than this book and I’d even argue that it’s great for kids to understand that there are more than just she/her and him/his pronouns.

I also really loved the format of it. By being a graphic novel it’s not your typical non-fiction that you have to dedicate hours to just to read a few pages. It’s fun, engaging and doesn’t feel like non-fiction at all. I read it in under an hour.

The art style is very simplistic but I think it really suited this book. It was more about the information being told than how extravagant the illustrations were but they still made it a lot more enjoyable.

I’m really glad to see a little book like this out there in the world. It’s so refreshing to see more and more LGBTQ+ books being published and showing just how diverse the world really is.

Overall, a fabulous little book for anyone who doesn’t know how to use they/them pronouns.

This is a super easy read and a great overview of They/Them pronouns.

I learnt a lot, and it took no time at all.

I think this would be great to see in work break rooms, coffee shops, libraries, really just anywhere.

I really enjoyed this and I found it educational and amusing. The art was clear and the lines were sharp.

I also liked that they included practical examples of how to correct someone using the wrong pronouns.

Unfortunately, I think the people who could use this the most would be the least likely to read it. I hope this helps someone explain their pronouns to someone who is open to learning.

This was a cute and easy to digest guide to pronoun use in a complicated world. The art is simple, and nothing too interesting to look at, but the art is not the main point of this book. Instead the information given is what is important, and the book itself advocates that passing this book on, leaving it on tables or handing it out like a Chick Tract is the is real goal. Information on non-binary people and the labels or terms many may not have heard of needs to be heard, and this book lays out very simple definitions that are easy to follow. I have taken a gender studies course in university, and know that the topic is very deep, and important to delve into but something that I may misunderstand as a cis gender person. This book talks to cis gendered people as well as non-binary people in a way that is not rude, confrontational or controversial. My mom could understand this book. She may be one of the people the book knows will not understand why pronouns are important, but it still talks to her about a topic she does not know about in a way that may leave her more informed and curious. If you need an intro into gender in the modern era, or are confused as to why you are being called cis gendered, this will help guide your interactions with people, and may interest you further into googling some of the topics it brings up for more information.

I absolutely loved this. I enjoyed the fact that it was a short comic, so it was easy to get through and not hard to read. As a member of the LGBTQIAP+ community i like learning about different sexual and gender identities. I have genderqueer friends and felt a bit uncomfortable asking them questions about their pronouns and their identity. But thanks to this book my questions have been answered and now i literally just want to shove this book in people's faces.

Overall, this is a quick and easy read that informs the reader of the most basic of things concerning genderqueer and non-binary pronouns with a few vague experiences to stress the points made pertaining to they/them pronouns.

However, there is a lot of room for improvement. For a start, as a genderqueer/non-binary person myself, I felt like this was the cis ally show, and that made me feel very uncomfortable at times - to be told, which included moments where it felt like I was being spoken down to and condescended, by someone who doesn't know from experience about the topic at hand, well, I felt a little awkward. I understand that the major audience for this book is probably to pass on the most basic information pertaining to gender and pronouns to the cis population who are taught to be ignorant of such things, but, as someone who's been this way my whole life and who's only been learning about all of this myself for the last while, putting names and labels to things I've always known and never had names for, it felt as if there could be so many others out there, genderqueer and/or non-binary people, who are discovering their own sex and gender who might feel as uncomfortable as I did, and find the learning through it daunting, because it was mostly explained by a cis person who is trying to make light of a topic they have no right to make light of. On top of that, perhaps the humour and language were aimed at Americans only, but for someone from the UK, it fell short - the overuse of 'folks' for example didn't help matters. I think perhaps there could be a broader use of the English language in order to spread the information as far as possible within the English-speaking world in a way that makes it something anyone can connect with because there's at least one listing of a word that is used around them.

Other than my discomfort at certain points due to the lack of the non-binary person getting to speak and it seeming to be all about the cis person for the cis people, and the repetitive use of Americanisms that make outsiders feel a little excluded, I do like this graphic novel/comic book. The concept, at least, is a nice one, and it's something we need more of these days, something that's long over-due, because a lot of people are ignorant to this, not always by choice, but because of the utter lack of information available - it's all right saying look things up, but without having something to grasp at beforehand, people don't know what to look up or where to look for it. The government and school systems ought to put aside their historic moral codes and traditions, and start teaching things like this to people as early as possible so that they don't grow up to a life-time of bad habits it's difficult to shake. So, yes, the concept is beautiful, but, sadly, the execution falls a little short of the mark. The personal touch is fine to a point, but when it reads as being more about one 'character' than the other, and that person not being part of the people who the topic affects in the first place, I think it crosses a line that perhaps ought to be avoided.

Overall, as I said, I do like this, it's nice, it's quick, it's easy enough to read, though perhaps a bit wordy in places where it might lead to information overload for those who can't handle a lot of new information at once, and the concept is something I hope catches on, but there's a lot of room for improvement in the execution of it. But I will be passing on the title of this to others, in hopes to spread the knowledge that little bit further, and also in hopes that others, especially those who live it day in and day out, can find the courage to write their own telling of it, whether with personal examples to go with it or merely a basic learning thing. I really did want to give it five stars, more than anyone could understand, but I can't give it more than four, and, if I could, I think I might even lower that to 3.5 stars.

But for what it's worth, for those who are cis gendered and new to this concept, then this is perfect, but for those with loved ones who are genderqueer/non-binary, and, more importantly, to those of us who actually are, then I think there's a lot of things that could be improved upon to make it more accurate and comfortable to read and access. And I really do think that, as there are many out there who are genderqueer and don't have that information to better understand themselves and their situation, who no doubt believe that they're wrong or broken or that there's something not right with them, forcing themselves to be 'normal' in the eyes of society, this really should be the priority audience to cater to, because reading this I felt like it was all about the cis people, that what we go through and experience all comes down to how the cis people are left feeling, and that is the sad reality of it as it is without adding to it in an attempt to undo some of that damage done to the world. Or, at the very least, make it extremely clear that this is directly aimed at cis people who don't know any better for whatever reason, so that those of us who read it anyway are forewarned that it's aimed at them more than us, otherwise it leaves you feeling a little despairing about things.
