This was a difficult read, but I appreciate that some of the things that made it most difficult are probably true things as they happened. The deadnaming and pronoun difficulties were heartbreaking to read, but my guess is that the author truly did struggle with those things for that year. To rewrite that story with her accepting her son immediately and not struggling would not have been accurate.
I hope that this book is helpful to all the parents who are similarly struggling. It shows how someone can go from having difficulties with acceptance to being fully supportive to the point of activism and writing an honest book about their struggles initially.
I recommend this book to struggling parents and that's who I read it for/gave it to (my struggling parent). I am a parent myself who is agender and I am not struggling with my children's gender identities.
