Loved writing a chapter in here around trans pregnancy. An element of trans experience which is rarely discussed in the current discourse as it is not convenient to do so in light of binary narratives.

Thank you to everyone who has bought my new book and for the kind comments about it. If anyone has bought it and is willing to put a review on Amazon, I’d really appreciate it as it helps with the algorithm. @scmpress.bsky.social scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978033...
