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).

 Je pense qu'il était important pour moi de comprendre comment le vivent les parents. Je pense que ça va mieux, maintenant.
J'ai passé un très mauvais moment, je recommande. (Plus sérieusement, ça m'a permis de faire preuve d'un peu d'empathie, et je vais l'offrir à ma mère : pour une personne trans, le mégenrage et le deadnaming tout au long du bouquin, c'est pas facile à supporter, mais pour les parents ça sera peut-être plus clair, parce que pour une fois on parle d'un bouquin qui part du principe qu'on n'y connaît rien et qu'on n'a pas forcément envie d'apprendre.)
