Description

When Miles came out on his YouTube channel in 2015 - then transitioned online in 2017 - his aim was to help other teens navigate their identities and take charge of their own coming-out stories. From that experience comes Out!, the ultimate coming-out survival guide for anyone questioning or queer.

Out! covers questions big and small: How to stay safe when coming out in a toxic environment, what to do if you don't feel comfortable with your birth name, what style haircut best suits your identity and how to find your chosen family. Miles offers readers coming-out conversation starters ('Can I have the bathroom pass Also, the correct pronouns'), a recipe for a very gay cake and a guide to mastering the masculine haircut. You'll find resources for finding a gender therapist, pointers for being a queer ally and Miles's Ten Commandments (#5: You are valid in your identity, even if you're the only one who can define it).

If you're a person seeking answers, look no further! This book is for you. And remember: Whoever you are, you are worth fighting for.
