The Progressive Incumbents
The progressive incumbent school board members have failed to protect children from the following content:
Information about medical transition/ taking hormones and hormone blockers
Information about how to find trans adults on the internet.
Instructions to be sure to delete your search history so your parents won’t find out.
The most concerning book for young kids, Lily and Dunkin, was brought before the school board in April, and the progressive incumbents voted to keep the book on the shelves for children as young as 7th grade. Concerned parents were even accused of pushing their “white, Christian values” on the public. Here are a few examples of what I found in that book:
At the end of this book is a resource guide with websites and books. On these websites there are adults waiting on messenger chats or hotlines for your child to call and talk to about gender. A few of the websites are:
genderdiversity.org
genderspectrum.org
community.plfag.org
translifeline.org
imatyfa.org
thetrevorproject.org

A mom who logged into The Trevor Project’s chat found more than she bargained for:
…she opened a “Pandora’s box” of sexually perverse content, aggressive gender re-assignment referrals, adults encouraging minors to hide their transitions from their parents, and many troubled kids in need of psychological counseling. She shared screenshots of the chat with National Review.

For a detailed discussion of how the level 3 hearing went, visit this article:
This is only the tip of the iceberg.
A Title IX Resolution to protect girls’ safe spaces was presented and REJECTED by the progressive incumbents.
A policy addressing gender fluidity and parental notification was presented and REJECTED.
The progressive incumbents wanted to make sexually inappropriate reading materials REQUIRED READING.
The media would have you believe these books were removed from the libraries; they were not.
Should books with detailed depictions of rape and incest be required reading?
Gender Fluid Books in Conroe ISD
The following gender fluid books are written for children under the age of 12 and are found in libraries in Conroe ISD. A brief description is provided, along with the relevant school libraries where the book can be found. This is a small selection of books. There are far more of these books available, especially for the high schoolers. I wish I had the time to provide you with a more complete list, but this is pretty long. Whenever possible, the book is linked to the county library card catalog so parents can place a hold and read it for themselves. (Note: Most of these books are not currently on the shelves in at the public libraries Montgomery County.)

Answers in the Pages by David Levithan
Donovan leaves a book on the counter, and his mother picks it up. She is concerned about the content and tries to get the book removed from the curriculum. Donovan feels caught in the middle because one of the teachers put him in the middle, which is unacceptable.
There is a tremendous amount of discussion about how young a person can know if they are gay, young people considering if they are gay/ sexual orientation. This discussion includes non-binary and transgender identities.

Alice Austen Lived Here by Alex Gino
Sam and TJ are best friends, and both are nonbinary. Sam, the main character, is 12 and spends a lot of time with the adult neighbors, Jess and Val, who are femme and non-binary respectively. The plot centers around a school project Sam and TJ are doing on Alice Austen.
There is some boundary pushing in this book which includes Jess changing clothes in front of Sam because, “fat kids need to see fat bodies.” This scene can be found in chapter 9.

Both Can Be True by Jules Machias
"Ash is no stranger to feeling like an outcast. For someone who cycles through genders, it's a daily struggle to feel in control of how people perceive you. Some days Ash is undoubtedly girl, but other times, 100 percent guy. Daniel lacks control too—of his emotions. He's been told he's overly sensitive more times than he can count. He can't help the way he is, and he sure wishes someone would accept him for it. So when Daniel's big heart leads him to rescue a dog that's about to be euthanized, he's relieved to find Ash willing to help. The two bond over their four-legged secret. When they start catching feelings for each other, however, things go from cute to complicated. Daniel thinks Ash is all girl . . . what happens when he finds out there's more to Ash's story?"-- Provided by publisher.

Dragon Masters, Bloom of the Flower Dragon (book 21) by Tracey West
This is the only book so far in this very popular series with a character who is non-binary. The character, Val, goes by they/them pronouns. This book is more subtle in that there is no explanation for these pronouns. Kids who aren’t familiar with nonbinary pronouns are confused, assuming there is a group that the pronouns are referring to.

Fifty-Four Things Wrong with Gwendolyn Rodgers by Caela Carter
This book is about a girl who gets ahold of her IEP (Individual Educational Plan) and reads it. An IEP is a special education plan for students with special needs. (The real story here is that a special needs student picking up this book is being preyed upon with gender ideology.) While Gwendolyn is processing the information found in her IEP, she makes a new friend who is non-binary, and they bond over feeling different. The gender fluid belief system is discussed in detail on pages 179, 262, and 264 - 268.

The Flames of Hope (Wings of Fire, book 15) by Tui T. Sutherland
These wildly popular books are dark and extremely violent, and that was reason enough for me to prevent my children from reading them, to their disappointment. We all have to make our own decisions for our kids based on our own personal convictions, and some friends found themselves needing to explain some things when it came to book 15, The Flames of Hope.
The characters, Axolotl and Sage, are both non-binary. Sage is mentioned briefly, but Axolotl is introduced and developed as a human character who goes by they/them pronouns. A bit more is explained in the epilogue.
(There are more politics to this book, and at some point, I would like to dig deeper into in a full review.)
These characters are described in the official Wings of Fire fan website:

Lily and Dunkin by Donna Gephart
(This is the book brought before the school board in the level 3 hearing discussed above.)
Jo’s father is very worried about Jo going out in public dressed as a girl, not because he is worried about his son making the right choice for himself, but because the dad is worried about what other people will think. This book portrays, as is a common portrayal, that parents who are concerned are doing so out of homophobia. The most common concern for parents is more likely out of concern that their children are encouraged to make irreversible changes to their bodies.
This book was the subject of a level 3 hearing on April 18, 2024. The incumbents who are up for re-election voted to keep this book on the shelves for kids as young as 7th grade. For more information about how this hearing went, visit the following article:
Concerning themes: Boy is asked by a neighbor to keep it a secret from his parents that she put makeup on him. Medical transition is discussed. Resources in the back of the book include websites where there are adults waiting on messenger chats or hotlines for your child to call and talk to about gender. The following websites are included:

The Pants Project by Cat Clarke
The main character, Liv, dislikes that the girls in her school are required to wear skirts. The reason why she dislikes wearing skirts is because she believes she is a boy.
Olivia is her legal name, but she prefers Liv because it’s more gender neutral. Liv struggles with anger, and the author alludes to the connection with her having to live as a girl. (The inferred question: Perhaps the reader’s personal struggle with anger could also be because she’s actually a boy too?)
In chapter 3, Liv discusses how she searches for more information on her mom’s laptop, while making sure to delete her searches to cover her tracks. (This is instructive information for the reader.) She discusses finding transgender stories and blogs, specifically suggesting YouTube.

Too Bright to See by Kyle Lukoff
This book contains alternate gender ideologies. The last 30 pages are basically instructions on how to transition and get your school to go along with it. Also, this book, as most do, perpetuates the lie that transitioning will solve all your adolescent problems and discomfort.

Snapdragon by Kat Leyh
Snapdragon is a girl “who doesn’t feel quite like a girl.” I appreciate that the author seems to not go down any roads with this and lets the reader settle on: girls don’t have to be like anything in particular. Louis, Snap’s best friend, transitions from Louis, a boy, to Lu, a girl. Snap helps the town “witch” who turns out to be her grandmother’s old flame.

Children’s Picture Books
Itty-Bitty Kitty Corn by Shannon Hale and Leuyen Pham
Subtle dysmorphia: this book doesn’t specifically discuss gender. Here is an interesting off-the-cuff review:
My daughter picked out this book from her daycare scholastic book fair. It looked cute, and she loves unicorns, so I bought it for her. As I began to read it, the first thing that bothered me was the little parakeet and gecko that were basically bullying the cat, calling her names like "fluffy-fry" and "fuzzy-heiney" when she says she is a unicorn. Then I noticed she doesn't just want to be a unicorn but says she feels that she truly is a unicorn. So the animals that are telling her that she will only ever be a cat are portrayed as mean bullies. Okay, a little weird. Moving along. Now what appears to be an adult, male unicorn shows up and starts whispering to this tiny, child cat. He says he admires some of her physical attributes as a cat, and that he is in fact a kitty-corn. And tells her that she is also a kitty-corn. He wears furry pink cat ears, and they prance around together.
And when the sun is going down they merge together.
What the actual F. This book has underlying themes of gender dysphoria, transgenderism, an adult male grooming a small child, and bullying. I can't understand all of these positive reviews. Are people that oblivious and easily fooled or do they just not care about exposing their young, impressionable children to these types of themes? This book will be going back to the book fair, and I now know that I must carefully read what they pick out.
(review published on @mamabearisbookaware on Instagram)
Book Summary: A kitten believes she’s really a unicorn and becomes friends with a unicorn that calls himself a kitty-corn.
Summary of Concerns: This book contains dysmorphic content without connection to imagination.

Ride Elementary, Snyder Elementary, The Woodlands College Park High School, The Woodlands High School
This book is also available on the Soras App.
(Perhaps the elementary schools who insist on keeping this book on the shelves, should also have Elephants are not Birds by Ashley St. Clair on the shelves with it.)
Jacob’s New Dress by Ian Hoffman
Book Summary: Jacob wears girl clothes to school and the children ask questions because they are confused by this.
This book is available to Conroe ISD students on the Soras App.
Julian is a Mermaid by Jessica Love
Book Summary: A very young boy sees mermaids on a bus and wants to dress like them. His grandmother encourages him and later takes him to a mermaid event saying they are like him.

When Aidan became a Brother by Kyle Lukoff
Aidan, a transgender boy, experiences complicated emotions as he and his parents prepare for the arrival of a new baby. The reader is shamed for asking pregnant women if they are having a boy or a girl. This is insensitive to the child who was born a girl but transitioned into a boy.
This book is available to Conroe ISD students on the Soras App.
What can be done?
The Conroe ISD progressive incumbents who are up for re-election are not interested in moving any of these books (moving to high school only or removing), even those with content that includes self-harm, medical transition, hiding information from parents and finding adults on the internet.
A resolution to protect girls’ spaces was presented and rejected.
A policy addressing gender fluidity and parental notification was presented and rejected.
