The Natural Mother of the Child: A Memoir of Nonbinary Parenthood by Krys Malcolm Belc

5.0

This was a fascinating, informative and emotional memoir about parenting a child as a nonbinary transmasculine parent. Krys Malcom Belc gave birth to his son Samson and that process helped them gain some clarity on his gender identity. It helped him determine he definitely did not identify with a female gender. He also shares the struggles of being a non-traditional couple and "adopting" a child a partner gave birth to. It was a maze of bureaucracy of almost nightmare proportion.

I listened to the audiobook which was narrated by the author and it was very well done.

I highly recommend this one to anyone interested in diversifying their reading. It is a great pick not only for getting an LGBTQ+ perspective but also on understanding parental rights.

Thank you to the publisher for the audiobook!
