Gender Queer
(Lion Forge Comics/Oni Press)Gender Queer is the adolescent account of Maia Kobabe, who uses e/em/eir pronouns. While the author originally wrote this graphic memoir to better explain to eir family what it’s like to be trans and asexual, the novel grew to become a coming of age touchstone for queer youth across America. It also became one of the most vocally criticized, and was the most banned book in the nation in 2021. While right wing pundits have tried to bury the novel, the controversy surrounding it only catapulted it further into the public eye. After all, who doesn’t love a good banned book? The novel follows Maia on eir coming out journey, covering everything from gender dysphoria, first relationships, to the author’s adolescent love of queer fan-fiction. A touching examination of the non-binary experience, Gender Queer should be required reading for LGBTQ+ youth and the allies who support them.
