Today we talk about a 2021 debut book - Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters! We both loved this book, for a multitude of reasons. It is messy, incredibly queer, it teaches you and asks hard questions and causes you to sit and think about ideas and concepts. It speaks on womanhood, what it means to be a mother/parent, creating nontraditional families, and queer culture. There is a true beauty in reading books that don't try to apologize or hide what they are and who they are for - and Detransition, Baby does not hide its messy, its realness, its queerness. We love it and can't wait to see/hear what our listeners thought as well!
