Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

A lovely memoir. I first noticed this on display in our local bookstore, and finally picked it up once I saw it was the most challenged book of 2022. Kobabe's explanation of neopronouns and the struggle to use them was enlightening, and I love any story in which otherwise enlightened people struggle to adapt to the protagonist's new thing -- that recurring theme just really touches me. My only complaint is that it ends rather abruptly. I could have read so much more of eir musings.

Lastly: this was published in 2019, which explains the Harry Potter references, which now lend the text a little added melancholy.
