The book by Maia Kobabe tells the story of the author’s journey of understanding gender identity and sexuality as a teenager. It has become a lightning rod in debates over education of gender and sexuality in public schooling.
, a teacher at the Hollidaysburg Area School District had a copy of the book “Gender Queer” in her classroom, which has drawn complaints from some parents.
The book was never assigned by the teacher to be read in class. It is not part of the school’s curriculum, nor is it available in the school’s library. However, several students told parents that it was visible on the teacher’s desk, and that the teacher would sometimes read from it while they were working.
While the term “graphic novel” refers to a literary work that uses images - what is often referred to as a “comic book” - the content of “Gender Queer” is also graphic in another sense. The book contains depictions of sexually explicit acts, both real and imagined by the narrator, as well as things like use of menstrual products or visits to a gynecologist.
