Ah, the GN is Gender Queer: a Memoir by Maia Kobabe

I literally brought it home tonight from work and just read the whole thing in one sitting.
If I recall correctly the one major part that people are protesting is a depiction of oral sex (which was actually pretty mild, tbh). But like...it really isn't anything worse than reading a sex scene from a harlequin romance novel. And I could understand the protest/arguments perhaps if this graphic novel were in the "young adult" section as, though many teens/young adults are probably mature enough to handle it, some of the more adult content of the memoir might not be deemed "appropriate" for that age range. But it's not in that section. It's in the adult section. Where you can also find such gems as: Fifty Shades of Gray (which I have never read but I remember how popular it was with...way too many females when it came out) and the Anita Blake series (which started off good but quickly devolved into essentially just written-word paranormal porn).

I found it to be a wonderful insight into Maia's journey of discovering their gender and sexuality. As someone with an nb sibling, it was interesting to hear an nb's perspective on their gender, whether or not it's not the same way my sibling views/feels about their own.
