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

5.0
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.
