At the Broken Places: A Mother and Trans Son Pick Up the Pieces by Donald Collins, Mary Collins
3.0
The parts of this book written by Donald were incredibly valuable, but for the most part I couldn’t stand the parts written by the mother. She seems to value Donald primarily as an extension of her own identity and THATS how she justifies being against his transition which seems super narcissistic to me? She says her goal is to provide a resource for struggling parents, but unfortunately she pads anything worthwhile in this book with transphobic, self-centred rhetoric. Wouldn’t recommend.
