This looks so great. I can’t wait to pick it up. My husband’s mom is a trans man, and I’ve always wondered what it was like for him to go through two pregnancies before he transitioned. I know pregnant and butch is different from pregnant and trans, but I’m already laughing at (with) your shared love of suspenders. I can definitely see some overlaps.
This is great. As a queer woman, I worry that pregnancy and motherhood is going to thrust me into girly-lady-mommy land (in terms of other people’s perceptions of me) and I think a lot about how I can maintain a queer identity when I am married to a dude and (hopefully) having kids someday. I can’t wait to read the rest of this–I am totally buying the book.
Loved the McSweeny’s dig.
