![]() ![]() ![]() They have five children, all boys – or so they thought. He’s a writer who’s been working on his novel for a long time. But the author is telling us about this particular family, and how they in particular dealt with things when their youngest son told them he wanted to be a girl scientist when he grew up. In the featured family’s quirky particularity, we don’t feel like they’re trying to speak for every transgender child. I tend to not like “issue” novels, because they can make things work out for their protagonists in ways the real world wouldn’t. This is a book about a family with a young child who doesn’t follow gender norms, and how the whole family navigates that. I have a transgender daughter, though she came out at 27 years old, when she had grown up and moved out long before. I heard about this book from my Facebook group of mothers of transgender kids.
