I disagree. Gender Queer talks about going to websites like kink.com to explore sexuality. That’s not high school material. That site is hardcore BSDM.
Most people use it as “young children” and not “teenagers”. So I agree that 3rd graders shouldn’t be reading it, but if you think most high schoolers aren’t at least familiar with BSDM, you’re pretty naive. I teach middle school and some of these students have gotten into stuff that still shocks me.

It’s an important book, but it’s not for kids.
Here in lies the issue: define “kids”
