The wait is finally over. This is part two of our episode with D2 from Start the Wave, and in the second half we get a bit more introspective in how this book affected us personally. We always have a great time talking to D2, no matter the subject. After you've finished this book please join us in checking out the Start the Wave pride resource list, as it is filled with many important and incredible books. We are slowly making our way through all of them. Also follow Start the Wave on Instagram and at Startthewave.org to see all the incredibly amazing waves of positive change they are creating.As a young child in North Carolina, Jacob Tobia wasn't the wrong gender, they just had too much of the stuff. Barbies? Yes. Playing with bugs? Absolutely. Getting muddy? Please. Princess dresses? You betcha. Jacob wanted it all, but because they were "a boy," they were told they could only have the masculine half. Acting feminine labelled them "a sissy" and brought social isolation. It took Jacob years to discover that being "a sissy" isn't something to be ashamed of. It's a source of pride. Following Jacob through bullying and beauty contests, from Duke University to the United Nations to the podiums of the Methodist church--not to mention the parlors of the White House--this unforgettable memoir contains multitudes. A deeply personal story of trauma and healing, a powerful reflection on gender and self-acceptance, and a hilarious guidebook for wearing tacky clip-on earrings in today's world, Sissy guarantees you'll never think about gender--both other people's and your own--the same way again.

More than a third of Gen Zers know someone who uses gender-neutral pronouns. But the binary view of gender is still deeply ingrained in our society. For this episode of Tilted, we’re taking a close look at what it would mean to really break the gender mold. We talk to two amazing non-binary artists—Joey Soloway, creator of the hit TV series Transparent, and Jacob Tobia, actor, producer, and author of the memoir Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story—about their personal journeys with their gender identities and what we can all do to be more open and inclusive.

From the moment we are born, we are told how to act, how to dress, how to behave, and how to exist in this world. We are prescribed roles and identities based on our gender, our sexuality, our religion, our geography, the list goes on… But what if we had the courage to break out of the confines that society places us within and step into our true and authentic selves? What if we break the mold? On today’s episode of Too Much To Handle, I am joined by trans activist, Jacob Tobia, to discuss how they are breaking free from the ‘classical trans narrative,’ why gender is fun & funny, and how toxic masculinity is most detrimental to cisgender men. Jacob is a writer, producer, and author of the forthcoming memoir Sissy: A Coming-of-Gender Story. THIRDLOVE: Go to thirdlove.com/toomuch now to get 15% off your first purchase!
