A review by cosmicbookworm
Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe

5.0

This is an important memoir. I understand that some parents will feel uncomfortable with the idea that their child might benefit from its contents. Nonetheless, it's crucial to recognize that there exists a demographic of individuals who do not align comfortably with conventional norms and stand to gain valuable insights from Maia's narrative. The parents who are uncomfortable with this book being available need to read this book. Maia does a beautiful job of describing eir path of self-discovery. Maia's story will help bridge the gap of understanding if people will only take the time to read eir book. It is a quick read in comic form and is well worth your time.

Recommended reading for: youth who struggle with their own identity, youth who have friends who need compassion and understanding, parents who have children who may be struggling, the rest of us who would be well served by being able to understand the world around us just a little better.
