Tomorrow Will Be Different: Love, Loss, and the Fight for Trans Equality

This is probably the best memoir I've ever read. It is both a heartbreaking and motivational book. Her story is heartbreaking, and it is also sad that this world still discriminates against people who are simply just trying to live. People like Sarah have made society a better place than it was just a few years ago. There will always be setbacks in any movement but it is important to not give up.

emotional hopeful inspiring slow-paced

I gave this 5 stars bc of the way the experience of reading this felt, it was positive and heartfelt, like a hug from the maternal director at the LGBTQ center. I loved the image in the last chapters, trans kids watching McBride’s address on tv, trans kids growing up as their true selves. I liked tragic romance, and the hallmark movie progression from beginning to end. McBride’s life was not perfect, but I would shelve it with cozy reads.

I struggled with the privilege McBride describes without realizing she is describing it. Oh they just GOT an apartment in DC? Oh her boyfriend just happens to drive an expensive car? Oh of course they are vacationing in Aruba.

I appreciate that she addressed her privilege- white cis & economically stable - but she definitely does not seem to be aware - at least I did not see awareness in this book - of how her wealth insulated her from the kind of difficulty she would otherwise have experienced.

I would recommend this as a starter book for someone just starting to learn abt the experience of trans ppl, or to parents of trans kids who need a hopeful story.

This book deeply moved my soul. I loved getting to read sarahs journey. This book was inspiring and healing to read. Both heart wrenching and heart warming. If you feel tired in the fight for equality this book will remind you what the fight is for and why its worth it.
This is a great book for those wanting to start expanding there knowledge of experiences and stories of trans people.

A personal and political story about fighting for trans equality in America. The personal parts of the story were touching, but I think I mostly enjoyed the details about the political fights and the process involved.
