'Gender Queer' author Maia Kobabe discusses Sen. John Kennedy, a Republican, reading a sexually explicit passage from the book during a Senate hearing.
. Senator Kennedy implied it was a children’s book. But I think that’s coming from a misreading of the comic-book form. ‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children. I originally wrote it for my parents, and then for older teens who were already asking these questions about themselves.
Previously, Kobabe wrote an October 2021 opinion article in the Post entitled"Schools are banning my book. But queer kids need queer stories" in which Kobabe thought at one point the book was for the"high school and above" age group. High school ages are generally in between 14 and 18.
. The newspaper wrote Kobabe"imagined the memoir would appeal mainly to young adults who had also wrestled with gender identity, and to friends and family of nonbinary people. The book’s publisher, Lion Forge, marketed it toward older teens and adults." In an interview with Pen America in May 2023, Kobabe said,"If I’d had a book to read like this, specifically, when I was like a freshman in high school, it would have saved me years of questioning and confusion about my identity, and could have really helped me figure out who I was and how I wanted to interact with people through the world and who I wanted to be much sooner. I didn’t really figure that stuff out until I was in my late 20s.
