    Gender Queer is 18+ and Not All Boys Are Blue says 15+ on Amazon, so yeah, either adults or high school and up. They love to act like evil librarians are trying to give 2nd graders pornography, though.

      They don’t even want high schoolers to read that stuff. Not like they couldn’t get it other places or that generally by high school kids have a grasp on their sexuality or are figuring it out. And books like that can really help kids who are in a tough spot, like being lgbtq+ and having an asshole like Kennedy here as a father.

        Well yeah, if kids could figure out they’re not the only ones that feel certain things, they might not feel like shit about themselves! God knows, we can’t have that. If they have self-esteem, they might build a happy, healthy community instead of spending their lives repressed and miserable.

          Repressed, suppressed, oppressed and generally just pressed is how we like it. I wish this was sarcasm.
