This coming-of-gender graphic novel debut from trans creator Joris Bas Backer is an enlightening and often hilarious tale that casts light on what it was like to be transgender before help was more accessible and widespread.When their Mum moves to another country to work on fixing the Millennium bug, Jet is forced to stay at a boarding house. But something’s not quite right, and it’s not just the out-of-control kids that Jet has to live with. Jet begins to notice that they don’t feel like the other girls in their class. Jet slowly begins to realise that they may be more of a boy than a girl. Is that even possible?

Two legal systems founded on similar Enlightenment philosophical and political values use state coercion differently to regulate a liberty at the core of the Enlightenment: freedom of expression. This comparative study of France and the United States proposes a novel theory of how the limits of freedom of expression are informed by different revolutionary experiences and constitutional and political arrangements. Ioanna Tourkochoriti argues that the different ways freedom of expression is balanced against other values in France and the United States can be understood in reference to the role of the government and the understanding of republicanism and liberty. This understanding affects how jurists define the content and the limits of a liberty and strike a balance between liberties in conflict. Exploring both the legal traditions of the two countries, this study sheds new light on the broader historical, social and philosophical contexts in which jurists operate.
