#9 Trans Representation and Writing Modern Love with Torrey Peters

Gorgeous book lovers, do we have an episode for you?! This conversation with Torrey Peters, authors of the acclaimed Detransition, Baby was one of our very favourites. We chose Torrey's book as our February book of the month, for all the ways it touches on modern love, trans identity, and queerness, as well as parenthood and what that means to each of us. In this chat, our founder Molly spoke with Torrey about her experience of trans identity and how she reflected this in Detransition, Baby, as well as the illuminating likeness Torrey presents between divorced women and trans women. We also chat excitedly about Detransition, Baby being adapted for the screen, and all the ways in which we can be empowered and educated by stories of others whose lives are so different to ours, but their desires and dreams are so similar.  You can get your copy of Detransition, Baby, alongside other amazing gifts in our monthly book subscription box, linked below! New here?
