The book grapples with issues of trans culture, queer history and trauma, motherhood, and family. It doesn't shy away from bold opinions or raw details in pursuit of being more accessible or "palatable". At the same time, the book doesn't feel too heavy thanks to a brisk pace, easy writing style, and plenty of lighter moments. The author has also made the wise choice to
Detransition, Baby was a really worthwhile read. It uses a seemingly unlikely premise as an authentic and insightful window into a trans experience.
