Parts of this made me a little uncomfortable, particularly when the author talks about almost hitting their kids . I respect the honesty, but as a survivor of child abuse, it was super off-putting. The other thing that bothered me were the pregnancy descriptions, but that's more of a personal squeamishness.
The perspective of being a trans nonbinary parent and the story of how they had to adopt their own children was super enlightening, though.
