šŸ³ļøā€āš§ļøTrans Parenthood Explored

NOT a guide for parents.

The comfortable, cozy, ugly & the fucked up.

Adult/General Fiction Books or Memoirs/(Auto)biographies - with a trans person as a focus in relationship to parenthood or pregnancy

Found family, bio families, pregnancy, non-traditional relationships and family dynamics & more

This started off as a personal exploration on my trans body & relationship to ā€œmotherhoodā€ for an art project

Recs highly welcome !!

Gaysians by Michael Curato has a found family with a Drag Mother (ultimately a House Mother) who's trans! There's no pregnancy but definitely a strong feeling of motherhood and nurturing queer people abandoned by their bio families.

I'm in the middle of Disappoint Me, and fertility/parenthood is playing a much larger role than I expected. Very appropriate for this list!
