it’s a surprise bonus episode in our graphic content module as we cover gender queer by maia kobabe, one of the most banned/challenged books this year. the graphic novel memoir covers some serious content, so we open with some absolute nonsense before we dive into our discussion. shreds again gets heated talking about banned books before returning to his favorite topic: the exploration and use of language. we discuss the value and lessons found in the book, what we learned from the text, and the irony of banning books. we talk about the art style in gender queer and how reading it reminds us of 2010s tumblr.
