Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

A much needed voice in queer representation. The controversy surrounding this mostly stems from those who most likely are not as literate as they want you to think. The “graphic” image of two consenting adults engaging in oral sex was only for two panels and even then Maia expresses to sir partner they weren’t comfortable and it was met with patience & understanding. The only reason I would encourage parents to read this before handing it to their children is because Maia expresses the pain from going to the gyno as a knife impaling inside eir genitals. While I understand as a cis female that having a Pap smear isn’t comfortable, I would talk to my kids about gynos and the importance of visits.
