The more I reflect on this book, the less I like it. While I don’t agree with book bans of any kind, as a queer person I don’t think it provides a particularly helpful or useful lens through which to examine sexuality and gender or the way they operate in society. I wouldn’t give it to a teen to read not because I think it’s inappropriate but because I don’t think it has anything substantial to say about queer identity.

Recently, Liz @thiefofmemory posted an incredible review of this memoir that does it much better justice than I could. Please check out her review here (https://www.instagram.com/p/C22mpOGrQXf) to get an even better idea of why Gender Queer is a powerful and worthwhile read.

I'm glad I got to read it as research for my term paper on book bans in the US.
