This one was hard for me—I’m a bit of a black and white thinker, so reading all of Anne’s thoughts and misgendering was rough. I was very frustrated by her slow progression and the clear ways in which she was hurting her son.
That said, I understand the world is shades of gray. Gender and sex are very gray, especially. And Alex’s transition was very new to Anne so she took it personally. Change is hard. I did appreciate how far Anne came from the first page. And how much research she did—even speaking with colleagues and changing course materials. I just wish change happened faster, especially in cases where one person’s struggle to change is hurting another (Anne’s struggle hurting Alex fyi).
