'Call Me Max,' a picture book written by a transgender man, tells the tale of a child who identifies as transgender and is now being read aloud to children as young as four in Minnesota, according to state public school officials. The 32-page story, published in 2019, depicts a boy who struggles with the gender they were born with and asks teachers to identify them by a boy's name. Since its inception a few years ago, it has been outlawed in schools in several US states, such as Texas and Florida, after inciting protests and outrage amongst outraged parents. The book has since resurfaced on shelves in the Great Lake state, causing one parent, 47-year-old LaDawn Severin of Minneapolis, to slam officials at a recent school district board meeting.
