Gender Queer: A Memoir, published in 2019 by Maia Kobabe, is a graphic memoir that traces the author's journey from adolescence through early adulthood, exploring questions of gender identity and sexuality that ultimately led Kobabe to identify as nonbinary and asexual. Using both narrative and illustration, the book covers experiences of gender dysphoria and euphoria and the challenges of navigating a world built around binary gender categories. The book became the most challenged and banned title in the United States for three consecutive years — 2021, 2022, and 2023, according to the American Library Association. Kobabe wrote a widely circulated essay reflecting on the experience, arguing that banning the book does not erase the experiences it describes and that young people grappling with gender identity deserve access to stories that reflect their lives. The controversy brought the book to a far wider audience than it might otherwise have reached.
