Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were \"a boy,\" they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them \"a sissy\" and brought social isolation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt took Jacob years to discover that being \"a sissy\" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride. Following Jacob through bullying and beauty contests, from Duke University to the United Nations to the podiums of the Methodist church--not to mention the parlors of the White House--this unforgettable memoir contains multitudes. A deeply personal story of trauma and healing, a powerful reflection on gender and self-acceptance, and a hilarious guidebook for wearing tacky clip-on earrings in today's world, \u003ci\u003eSissy\u003c\/i\u003e guarantees you'll never think about gender--both other people's and your own--the same way again.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacob Tobia\u003c\/b\u003e (pronouns: they\/them) is a gender nonconforming writer, producer, and performer based in Los Angeles.
