That’s where these queer memoirs come in. It’s nice to hear that you are not alone, echoing through the years and across pages. And let me say that again: you are not alone. Someone has had experiences like yours, someone has felt the same way as you. These books confirm that. When the loneliness starts to get a little heavy, when you start to see women in your yellow wallpaper, when your experiences are starting to feel like they’re being cookie cuttered, pick one of these up: queer memoirs from individuals from multiple parts of the queer identity and various backgrounds. Remind yourself that no one person is an island. Remind yourself that no matter how it seems, you are not alone. If you’re looking for more queer reads to pick up, I recommend checking out some of the best queer books out there, and if audiobooks are more your speed, you can read our piece on audiobooks of queer memoirs written and read by queer women.
