![Gender Queer: A Memoir by Kobabe, Maia [Paperback] - Picture 1 of 1](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/0SIAAOSw~I5mJ6~K/s-l500.jpg)
It tells a story about a person who is confused about their gender. It's kinda all over the place, but see why. I think this book would be great for a young teen to older teens, so I think high school maybe middle school age kids. I would not recommend this for someone in elementary school due to some graphic stuff. Other than that it was a good book & you definitely need an open mind for it

Although I was sometimes confused by the book it gave me a better perspective of the life of a child and grown person who are not necessarily gay or trans but there is a whole list of possibilities and how distant some people can feel since the are "different" than the majority. A deeper understanding is probably one of the first steps but just having respect is probably the most important. I may never understand the feeling but I can respect that there is a difference.

The book is a graphical biography by a painfully honest young (woman). That is not how "e" would describe "erself," but for purposes of this review and with apologies to "er," I will try to avoid all pronouns, because most people reading will handle the matter better if I do. It tells the story of an intelligent person from earliest self-awareness to the present moment. This person is chaste, family-centered, obsessed with reading for knowledge and pleasure. Blessed with sensitive and understanding parents, supportive siblings too, family has always been a central part of life. Education is cherished and the author has earned a Masters Degee. The story is not obsessed with pursuing intimate sexual relationships, if anything, the author's choice is celibacy, though the choice is not so stated. If one wants to follow the journey of a person uncomfortable in the gender assigned at birth, and the struggle to find self-understanding and acceptance, this is an excellent book. So far as i can tell, only one incident described over two pages, is what seems to be drawing the ire of Moms for Liberty and other religious tyrants. I found the person and the story to be altogether remarkable.Read full review

I wanted to like this but found it a case of my never being able to feel as sorry for and concerned for the writer as they felt for themselves. In my view not a compelling story or commanding in how it was told..

Really great graphic novel, especially for gender queer and trans masc people.
