“Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children. I don’t recommend this book for kids,” author says

“ Gender Queer’s ” graphic novel with explicit sexual content has shown up in public school libraries across the country, outraging parents.

Author Maia Kobabe , who identifies as non-binary and uses the pronouns “e, em and eir,” explained that while her book might be appropriate for “older teens” she does not recommend it for children.

Kobabe was reacting to Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) reading some of the graphic passages during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.
