This was truly lovely and helpful. Even tho my kids are past a lot of the younger (baby/toddler) stuff, it’s nice to be reminded that other people agree with choices I’ve made. (Because ouf, mainstream parenting expectations are sometimes very heavy and distressing.) And also just to be reminded to continue building inclusive and caring choices into the future. I wish I could buy a copy of this one! And of the previous one (Special Topics in being a Human) too.

Gender Is Really Strange by Teddy G. Goetz

This was good! But maybe not as an intro if you aren’t familliar with academic or social Justice language? 

I was looking for something to give my parents that would be easily digestible for them and I don’t think this is it. I feel like they’d tell me they didn’t understand half of it.
