omg yall it’s the last page of the GENDER book, colored!
… at least, unless I go through with this secret plan to add another last minute page… then it’d be the second-to-last.
I cannot wait to see it in print. We included some random fun facts and miscellaneous info there on the inside back cover you might recognize from the GENDER booklet, as well as a little concept map to help you find your way through the book quickly.
thanks for posting one of our booklet illustrations. FYI, you can find the other pages at our website- www.thegenderbook.com
Hey guys, check it out- I just colored the Acknowledgments page from the GENDER book. You may notice that there is space still for your name! Though we’ve closed the surveys for all practical purposes (putting this baby to bed soon!) we still welcome your feedback and support in other ways- from spreading the word to donating financially whatever you can. If you paypal us more than $5, we’ll put you (or a person’s name of your choosing) here in the book.
Who are your gender heroes?
The gender book is a colorful, short book meant to educate and entertain- a sort of gender 101 for anyone and everyone. Please enjoy and distribute widely.pretty cool, you guys! check it out.
thanks, ya’ll! We have a Tumblr, too! <3 mel
Recently-colored footnotes and further resources pages from the GENDER book.
Ideas for resources to add? What are your favorite gender- or trans- related books, videos, articles, websites, and groups? I’d love to hear your ideas. I’m still collecting them myself. You can email me directly at mel@thegenderbook.com. Alternately, you can try leaving comments here, I check those sometimes.
PS- Don’t mind the footnotes; they will be updated and edited, heavily. I just put some rough text there to play with fonts and such. :)
Today I sat at Maxfield’s coffeeshop in the Castro and colored this page. Just imagine the words in there. Those wil come later. Kthanks.
Meanwhile, we could play a game where you comment with the words you’d most like to see included in gender definitions
The inside front cover and title page of the GENDER book have been released for your perusal and feedback. Yes, that is my handwriting on the titles. I also used somewhat brighter, more acidic colors than usual. Fun stuff. **Note to self- put in actual publisher’s info and ISBN there… Just as soon as we find one…

(Edited to include the new colors. I like them moar!)
So… Apparently the mice in Texas like digital coloring tablets as much as I do. >.< anyone want to donate $72 to help me finish the book, or have an old Wacom lying around somewhere, or want to play with the cord with their sautering iron? Only 5 pages left to color! It’s so frustrating….
Here it is! I’m not 100% sure if I like how it came out… it almost seems a bit too cutesy for the subject. Maybe I just like drawing cute clothes and bright colours too much!
This is for a contest with the Canadian Human Rights Agencies for their conference in May. All the Advanced Illustration students and Design students had to enter as part of their final. Kinda pissed that they required us to print it off at 24 x 36…. which I think is way too big and expensive ($50!!) for most students and their budget. We don’t even get to keep the posters. And the top prize is only $200. I feel kinda ripped off. :/
EDIT: A couple of people have sent me notes saying that “Transgendered” is incorrect terminology. I apologize, I kind of added the text last minute, and should have known better. I’ve uploaded a fixed version. :)
This poster is a good reminder that pronouns aren’t “preferred”. They’re NECESSARY.
Exactly why my school admins/peers starting asking “what pronouns do you use?” instead of “what are you preferred pronouns?”
I love this! So good.
