Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

The most challenged book in America for three years running. A graphic memoir about gender identity that is thoughtful, honest, and beautifully drawn — and apparently very scary to people who have not read it

Gender Queer is here. Maia's intensely cathartic autobiography charts their journey of self-identity, which includes the mortification and confusion of adolescent crushes, grappling with how to come out to family and society, bonding with friends over erotic gay fanfiction, and facing the trauma and fundamental violation of pap smears. Started as a way to explain to their family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity.
