Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe

challenging lighthearted fast-paced

5.0

Great book, it really helps me understand people’s gender identities better. However, I find it extremely inappropriate that this book is available in middle school libraries. There’s a sex scene with a strap on dildo, children don’t need to see that.
