Today is national Trans day of visibility. My son came out to us in 2013 at 11 years old. I admire him for being able to be his authentic self. Trans people represent 1-2% of the population. They want to live life just as you we do, and have the same rights that we do.

If the love for your child is contingent on them being a cis-gender heterosexual then you are the problem. Not the transgender person who wants to use the bathroom.

This book was initially published in 1989 but has some revisions from 2008. The discussions of gender strategies and the “myths” we create in our own homes to make the family work (or not) is rocking my world.

What myths have I created to justify how my family functions? Are they serving me and the rest of my family or should I rephrase my reality to better serve us all?

Seriously, I feel like this entire book is an argument for abandoning the binary views we have of gender, sexuality, attraction, and life.

Pickpick

The narrator of Martel‘s debut is born a man, yet becomes a woman overnight. This is an interesting premise yet it doesn‘t add much to the story, which is a report of sex and travels, without any real depth to the plot or the characters.
The last part of the book is very disturbing (I‘ll add a TW in the comments) and feels very real. The result of what happens makes sense and makes the book worth reading. A light pick.

BarbaraBB TW: rape 5mo
Megabooks Unpopular opinion: I did not care for the Life of Pi and have never really desired to read more of his books. I agree that this premise does sound interesting, so I'm sorry to hear the execution is subpar. 5mo
BarbaraBB @Megabooks I didn‘t know that, about you and Pi 😃! I loved the book, not the movie. However, don‘t bother reading this one! 5mo

#WeeklyForecast 45/24

Somehow I haven‘t read as much lately so I think these two books might me ambitious already. I have started The Echoes already and am enjoying it.
The tagged one (by the author of Life of Pi) has been sitting on my shelves for ages so I am glad to pick it up for #FoodAndLit 🇨🇦

sarahbarnes I loved Pi so will be curious to hear about this one. And I am excited to read something by Wyld soon - I never have! 5mo
TheKidUpstairs I've got The Echoes pre-ordered (it's not out here until February!), eager to hear your thoughts when you've finished!

@sarahbarnes The Bass Rock is my favourite of hers!

sarahbarnes @TheKidUpstairs that is really good to know! 5mo
BarbaraBB Thanks for the recommendation @TheKidUpstairs 5mo
