‘Gender Queer’ Author ‘Relieved’ After Court Rules Book's Sale Can’t Be Restricted in Virginia

Kobabe, who uses Spivak pronouns, graduated with an MFA in Comics from California College of the Arts. Eir work features themes of "identity, sexuality, anti-fascism, fairy tales and homesickness."

An MFA in comics??! This is the student debt we’re paying for???

In an earlier thread when a judge halted sales temporarily while reviewing the case the usual partisan DLers were freaking out about censorship and I think it was retired perhaps Republican Judge. As I said then this was the guaranteed outcome.

[quote]coming out as nonbinary and asexual.

So, it just fucks itself but doesn't like it?

I’m glad the book can be sold, but how much longer must we indulge this LARP/cosplay nonsense?

Apologies to Op who I though t was drunk posting till I read the quote

How captivating! Now, this is the book that really speaks to me.

What a surprise...not. so fucking tired of identity politics.

The two heroines in this effort use use strap-ons to achieve orgasm.

The story here should've been the Republican campaign to censor her book. But since this is now a Republican forum, people are wholy blind to that angle. Dataloungers see that someone is trans or NB and then decide, just on that score, that she's the enemy, regardless of whom they're up against.

My new name is Lambdamoo. That’s right.

[quote] The story here should've been the Republican campaign

We need a Democrat party member teaching their lesbian teenagers how to masturbate with dildos properly.

Googling "illustrated graphic memoir, Kobabe" this is really mediocre artwork for somebody charged that much by the college.

r13

The heroine's sister tells her to “taste yourself,” leading her to put what she calls “vagina slime” on her finger. They visit the headquarters of a porn company that produced films called “Public Disgrace,” “Bound in Public,” and “Hardcore Gangbangs.”

The heroine rejects femininity in part because “I’m way too selfish for parenting. Plus, the thought of growing a parasite being inside my own body makes me want to vomit.”

R11, it is one of the enemies. These loons are making the Democrats abandon their claim on being the party of truth, reality, common sense, and reality. Once we lose those things, we are left with the whims of whatever bullshit is blowing through the winds at any given time. The fascists now come in shades of red and blue and that is because of the transtapo. It is the ONLY issue where the Democrats are disconnected from reality. It's a dangerous precedent.

r14 ikr, compare with Diane DiMassa

R13 wrong thread, or out of meds?

R17 Seems totally appropriate for children! ...

We have to learn new words.

[quote] ‘Gender Queer’

This comic book about dildos and 'vagina slime' has been endorsed by this crackle-voiced woman.

The TV show employees describe this crackle-voiced woman as 'A Thought Leader'.

^ That crackle-voiced woman and the horror of 'vagina slime' remind me of this crazed fictional loon.

She hated her body so much she took scissors and cut off her nipples.

If you use weird pronouns you're really not worth a sane person's energy.

This is nuts.

An essential tenet of journalism is that no subject can dictate to a news outlet how they will be described or portrayed.

Until now, apparently!

[quote]An essential tenet of journalism is that no subject can dictate to a news outlet how they will be described or portrayed.

You just make up little stories in your head and post them like they were true, unimpeachable facts, doncha?

Journalists don't refer to subjects they write about with random names or random pronouns or random descriptions, let alone do that as an "essential tenet of journalism."

R17 Her book sounds appropriate for my five year old garbage pail.

Exactly. “E/em/eir pronouns” for the love of god. These overgrown children need to rejoin the real world.

R18, not entirely sure it is the only one. A couple of others.

1. Lower the voting age to 16. This was briefly floated and then put in a memory hole never to be mentioned again. But I have a distinct memory at that time of a Nancy Pelosi news conference where she said (literally) "I've always believed in lowering the voting age to sixteen."

2. The claim "Antifa" does not exist. It may not "exist" as a an organization but it exists. And that Antifa "just means anti-fascist". Maybe in the 1930s.

Republicans are similar but I sense 1. They would return to a standard conservative party if they could rid themselves of the albatross of Trump and 2. There's a set of core principles there (which DLers may hate) about the free market that they are tied to.

Let the attacks begin.

I'm against banning books, but I vote to ban this book on the grounds that it perpetuates ridiculousness.

“Gender queer”. Because simple old “lesbian” is so passé, evidently.

Why are attention seeking weirdos like this lumped in with the gay community? I miss the days when it was just “LGB”.

R18- All of this WOKE stuff is not progress it’s

CHAOS.

e/em/eir? Jesus-fucking-Christ!

Children should not be reading this garbage.

I've read the book, you can download it for free on Z-Library. It's not appropriate for kids or teens. No one just has 'gender dysphoria,' there's always a deeper issue, and this woman is no different. The book should have been a session with a therapist.

These people need padded cells.

R38 Did you see those two girls using the dildo on each other?

"I can't wait to have your cock in my mouth"

[quote] Dr. Scott Mosser admits they have "secret missions" to normalize child sex change surgery at the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco, no minimum age "at all" to get sex change surgery and he has done sex change surgeries on 13 year olds.

The Left and Right are cults.
