Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters
5.0
i like this book because the author doesn’t try to palatable. she’s just honest and you can feel the grace she extends to others. she said people are flawed and complicated but not without reason and they still deserve to be loved!
some quotes i marked are "he couldn't fully comprehend the enormous weight of fatherhood and generational lineage, but he could easily comprehend how much he did not want to cancel HBO." like..yeah
“all pain merits care, but not dogmatically egalitarian relativism."
all of page 316 but especially "when amy transitioned, she lost her dog. there was just her. she and her body were one and the same....but without a dog to hurt for her, on her behalf, her life as a woman arrived with pain; pain that had to be endured, withstood, pain that was the same as being alive, and so was without end."
"she enjoyed his take on stoic masculinity--the tragic man who loves a woman enough that the loss of her makes submersion in a frozen pond appealing by comparison. would all difficult women be loved that deeply.”
"move forward without investing in new illusions or turning bitter."
