The most banned book, according to the article, is an autobiography with an emphasis on the author questioning gender identity during their adolescence. Over two decades ago my middle school library had three copies of The Color Purple, an autobiography featuring multiple pedophilic rapes, and no member of my cohort was harmed by that.

Instead of idealising the children of today and attributing unrealistic levels of vulnerability to them, consider whether the work sitting on a shelf would have harmed your generation when you were a teenager. It wouldn't, because the human mind is resilient to anything short of Dianetics, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and The Secret.
