Whatstheirname: More Adventures w/o Gender is about julia eff’s complicated relationship to gender and not having one. Featuring theories from childhood, Laura Jane Grace, ruminations on adolescence and fandom and boys in eyeliner, Myspace bands, the early ’10s metalcore scene, a pronoun guide, the dissolution of a relationship, and their life around the bands they love, it’s a raw, honest look at a young person going through stuff they only recently invented words for. Written in 2013, the author describes it as “a snapshot of a moment in the life of a young genderweirdo.”
