This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
This book feels like a primer for parents with zero prior experience with queer people realizing they have a trans kid. I’m a millennial who is deeply in queer culture and I just felt like this book wasn’t for me. It really is just like “What if a totally normal cishetero couple had a trans kid???” as if that warrants these parents their own story. Not for me.
