there's explicit body horror in these novel such as the writer being stabbed etc, as well as medica trauma related to getting a pap smear

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is an autobiographical comic about Maia Kobabe’s gender identity. I understand why it has been such a challenged book because some of the scenes are very graphic, but I think it has an important purpose and message.
