Alyson Stoner released their memoir, Semi-Well-Adjusted Despite Literally Everything, choosing to omit discussions of their non-binary identity. Stoner stated they had drafted content on this topic but believed it wasn't the right time to share. The memoir addresses profound struggles such as family violence, eating disorders, and mental health. Stoner acknowledged the diverse reader base and the potential for shocking revelations. They emphasized that their book captures an early phase of their life, leaving room for future exploration of gender and societal constructs.
"I realised that there would be people who had never met a single openly queer person in their life, reading this alongside people who would probably already feel quite shocked by all of the other revelations and my journey with gender identity."
"This book really highlights the first quarter of, hopefully, my 100-year-long life. I feel like I could write a whole book on it because once you unpack gender, now you start to deconstruct every construct in society."
