Bear Bergman shows us there are things you learn when you're visibly different from those around you―whether it's being transgressively gendered or readably queer. As a transmasculine person, Bergman keeps readers breathless and rapt in the freakshow tent long after the midway has gone dark, when the good hooch gets passed around and the best stories get told. Bear offers unique perspectives on issues that challenge, complicate, and confound the \"official stories\" about how gender and sexuality work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003e 208 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003e Arsenal Pulp Press (Sept. 25 2009)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003e 978-1551522647\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: 1.07143rem; letter-spacing: initial; line-height: 1.42857rem; text-transform: initial;\"\u003e15.2 x 1.3 x 22.9 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARSENAL PULP PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18208965829,"sku":"108931","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/8600\/products\/nearest.jpg?v=1477440041"},{"product_id":"one-in-every-crowd","title":"One In Every Crowd","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStories by Ivan E.

It's a weird time to fall in love, but that's what happens to Skim when she starts meeting secretly with her neo-hippie English teacher, Ms. Archer. But then Ms. Archer abruptly leaves the school, and Skim has to cope with her confusion and isolation while her best friend, Lisa, tries to pull her into \"real\" life by setting up a hilarious double-date for the school's semi formal. Suicide, depression, love, homosexuality, crushes, cliques of popular, manipulative peers — the whole gamut of teen life is explored in this poignant glimpse into the heartache of being 16.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e 144 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Groundwood Books; Reprint edition (March 2010)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780888999641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Dimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e17.6 x 0.9 x 25.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Watch an interview with Skim co-creators, cousins Mariko \u0026amp; Jillian Tamaki...*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IiBlOh2L3b8\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little Sister's Book \u0026 Art Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34899496649,"sku":"110843","price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/8600\/products\/skim.jpg?v=1494023483"},{"product_id":"a-family-outing","title":"A Family Outing: A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBy Ruby Remenda Swanson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRuby Swanson's life changed when her sixteen-year-old son walked to her office, closed the door, and with his hand still on the doorknob said, \"I'm gay.\" Despite her initial reaction of shock, fear, and denial, Ruby became a public advocate for equality and acceptance of the LGBT community. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Family Outing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of Ruby's experiences.
