Hi fantastic folks! We have been in the process of pitching our baby book to publishers and are in the final edits stage! Now we’ll start going through all the pages and adding any last edits, re-typeset, and I’ll post them here for your last chance to offer feedback, help catch typos, share around your networks. So, here is the new and improved (hopefully) introduction page. What do you think?
Alright folks, here it is, at last, a digitally bound version of all the major content pages of the GENDER book. Now is the time for feedback from you, our amazing community.
Some of the changes to come are pretty obvious, like I mistyped “neutral” on that one page and some of the speech bubbles are still blank. Even if they’re obvious and we probably already know, go ahead and mention it anyway, suggest what you’d put in those empty bubbles! If nothing else, keep us honest in our great typo search.
Please keep your comments on positive (or at the very least, constructive) notes. Remember, we’re just humans like you doing the best we can. Thanks!

Hi Tumblrs!
So, last night I dreamt of erasers. Like the kind on top of pencils. Drawers and drawers of them. Blue and lavender, all different shapes. And then I woke up and realized my pencil drawer is looking sad.
Before I go to the art supply store, I just thought I’d throw this out there: the GENDER book (yes, every single image you see on this blog) is a 100% labor of love from 3hardworking individuals.
A package of erasers costs $6.95. Can you spare that, to help the project out? I normally am opposed to this sort of appeal, but if you knew how much time and <3 and $$ we’ve already put into these informational graphics and booklets, you’d know I’m not asking anything of you I haven’t already given myself.
So, please consider a little donation- every single donor will be honored in our book, from one cent on up.
We could really use $500 to help finish this project. Can you help us get there?
