'How to be a Gender Explorer' is a 32 page graphic narrative about gender exploration and self-discovery. The story is based on Samuel Luke Beatty’s personal experiences of being transgender, and uses themes of ‘transitional spaces’ and outer space to represent infinite and expanding possibilities of exploration and personal growth in diverse expressions of one’s gender identity as a transgender person. The book also provides positive affirmations and validation to other 'Gender Explorers' on similar journeys, to create awareness, understanding, and acceptance of being transgender.
