So I mean knowing about the Comstock act after the fall of roe v wade, it makes sense how racial capitalist patriarchy was organized enough to do the book banning shit

But OMG as a trans woman it helped give me context to my internalized transphobia

I don’t think words can describe how much this book effected me. I only picked it up because my Queer Lit professor mentioned it was currently one of the most banned books in the country. I identify as cisgender, but there were so many other parts that really hit hard; Eir struggle with eir’s sexuality and confusion on who they are. I can’t really describe it. I HATE how this book is heavily banned and censored; i think every queer person should read it eventually. I read it cover to cover in about two hours

I have never felt more understood then I did reading this. I’ve struggled a lot to figure out if I’m asexual, bisexual, and where I fall on the gender spectrum. I’m so thankful to the author for writing this!

An informative and inspiring read that has the potential to help so many young people discover their gender and feel like they're not alone. I felt so much joy through this book as Maia reached key milestones in eir gender journey and as ey had moments of gender euphoria. The art style was great too, very detailed but also easy to look at and absorb. The ending did feel a little abrupt but reinforced the well-understood circular queer experience of never having to stop coming out.

“Some people are born in the mountains, while others are born by the sea. Some people are happy to live in the place they were born, while others must make a journey to reach the climate in which they can flourish and grow. Between the ocean and the mountains is a wild forest. That is where I want to make my home.” p. 191

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an autobiographical comic about Maia Kobabe’s gender identity. I understand why it has been such a challenged book because some of the scenes are very graphic, but I think it has an important purpose and message.
