A boy is trapped in a time loop—and in a girl’s body—in this heartfelt and wryly humorous love story.

Laurie wakes up in a girl’s body with no memories, driving down an unknown highway, and promptly crashes the car. Thankfully, a handsome stranger named Gideon comes to his rescue. It’s awkward for Laurie to pretend that he’s a girl, but at least this is the scariest thing he’ll ever have to deal with.

Except the next morning—and every morning after—Laurie wakes up barreling down that same highway. He re-meets Gideon every day, with no idea who this girl whose body he’s inhabiting even is. Only one thing is clear: he’s on a countdown. Laurie has been given only one hundred days to get back in the right body, break the time loop, and not fall for Gideon while he does it.

Maybe Tomorrow I’ll Know is a funny, deeply felt exploration of love, identity, and what it means to move through the world in a body that is truly yours.

Nathan bekommt bei Geburt das Geschlecht weiblich zuordnet. Als Jugendlicher kämpft er um seine Identität. Übersetzt aus dem Französischen - die rechtliche Situation zur Namensänderung wird daher leider nur für Frankreich dargestellt, was aber ja auch interessant ist. Zu möglichen geschlechtsangleichenden OPs wird relativ wenig und nur eine Ansicht vertreten. Insgesamt dennoch ein toller Comic, auch als Geschenk für Verwandte und Bekannte, die einen Einstieg ins Thema wollen.

Verlagsbeschreibung:

Assigned female at birth, Nathan spends his formative years facing questions without answers. As puberty hits and begins to change his body, it all just feels wrong, and something needs to change for it to
feel right. He finds himself at a crucial crossroads.

Becoming
oneself is the work of a lifetime, no matter our gender, sexuality, or refusal to be limited by such categorizations. For Nathan, his courageous first steps towards discovering his true self happen through
transition. Based on a true story, Catherine Castro and Quentin Zuttion explore the tenacity and bravery that such a journey entails while society continues to wrestle with the meaning of identity.

Call Me Nathan issues a moving call for understanding, a powerful denunciation of prejudice, and a celebration of everything it means to love.

Meet 53 LGBTQ Heroes from Past and Present

About many queer people, whom I did not know of before. From various countries and including many people of colour. Unfortunately only 1 inter* Person (Lili Elbe), 6 trans* persons and no non-binary people. But it does include many queer heroes! I also recommend this book in a review (written in German) in the first issue of the magazin Queerdinx.
