Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation by Sophie Lewis
Great primer for someone like me who has never been exposed to family abolition. Some moments really shined for me while others felt lacking, underdeveloped, or really British in tone. If you can get past the intro, it's a solid book. Disappointed by the ending, felt like she really kind of petered off and ended on a hastily written note. Feel very encouraged to read and learn more, however, and lots of other works were cited.
fast-paced

Picked this book up with high hopes. Put it down when my friend sagely reminded me, "life is too short for bad books." Authors were clearly cishet white women who didn't consult actual trans ppl on how to talk about transness. Highly recommend Cory Silverberg and Fiona Smyth's books on sex and puberty to anyone looking for more trans affirming resources.
