No Offense: A Memoir in Essays

Jackie Domenus

4.9/5 (28381 ratings)

Description:When Jackie “came out” in 2014, right as the Trump era was revving up, she began paying closer attention to the inappropriate questions, uncomfortable reactions, and pointed assumptions about sexuality and gender she was witnessing and now experiencing firsthand. No Offense: A Memoir in Essays takes a magnifying glass to subtle moments that many people don’t recognize as homophobic or transphobic, exploring the impact of microaggressions on LGBTQ+ folks. Blending personal essay and cultural critique, the collection confronts society’s representation of and reactions to queerness at poignant moments in Jackie’s life, from wedding planning to OBGYN appointments to the Pulse Nightclub Massacre, and beyond. Revealing the complex and tender moments that sculpted their identity from a tomboy adolescence to gender exploration as an adult, No Offense analyzes the loaded conversations queer and trans folks face every day on topics like labels, haircuts, Halloween costumes, and more.“A deeply honest, open-eyed, and at times, disarmingly funny exploration of the journey toward selfhood, of the language that can harm us and set us free.” -Melissa Faliveno, author of Tomboyland“A smart and deeply inspiring celebration of queer identity.” -Edgar Gomez, author of Alligator Tears“An ode to owning your story, to the fluidness of identity and self-discovery. This book cracked me open.” -Marisa Crane, author of I Keep My Exoskeletons to Myself“Equal parts humor and heartbreak. Refreshingly frank.” -Sabrina Imbler, author of How Far the Light ReachesWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
