How to Be a Girl: A Mother's Memoir of Raising Her Transgender Daughter by Marlo Mack

emotional hopeful informative medium-paced

How to be a Girl by Marlo Mack [ARC] (memoir, trans). This book is a memoir about the experience of a mother raising a young transgender daughter. I’ve been following the podcast that inspired this book for a long time and was excited for the opportunity to read the book. I was frustrated by the early use of he/him pronouns for the daughter early in the book and glad the book didn’t use a deadname for her. I enjoyed the inclusion of photographs and drawings. I’ll definitely be recommending it to some straight family of young trans kids I know.
