Torrey Peters - Detransition, Baby

The bestselling book Detransition, Baby was called 'perhaps the first great trans realist novel' by The Guardian. It exposes the dreams and sometimes harsh realities of the trans community. One character has an urgent desire to have children, another decides to reverse his transition - because he finds life as a trans woman too difficult. Gender scholar Lieks Hettinga talks about the binary logic surrounding transition and detransition.
