may: 20

it's been a while*, but i think i only read one book in may:

detransition, baby, by torrey peters (from my bookshelf - my friend nora sent me this one, and i loved it.  a fictional story of a trans woman who detransitions back to living as a man.  he gets a cis woman pregnant, and then has to confront fatherhood.  i wouldn't recommend this to a teenage reader (there is some pretty explicit sex-y stuff), but i'd highly recommend this to others - it was a situation that happens but that i hadn't conceived of, and the complexities of it were super interesting and nuanced.  the story is so well written, too, and the author is trans herself.)


*both since may ended and since i only read one book in a month
