Book Project Sneak Peek

Interview snippets and early epiphanies

Two months into my nonbinary-parenting book project, I’m excited to share some updates with you all. For those of you who are new to the project, I’ve set out to share the stories of nonbinary and trans parents with the hope of providing more resources to those of us in the community who might also wish to have kids someday. Along the way I’m interviewing parents and learning so many beautiful things.

At this point I’ve interviewed five parents, with more scheduled out. I’ve even gotten connected with some families here in North Carolina. When I tell you that each conversation has left me feeling inspired, I’m not exaggerating. My husband Marc can confirm that I am buzzing after I log off calls. Buzzing isn’t even really operating as a metaphor here. Jazz hands are often involved when I relay my excitement to him.

For the record: this is what my face looks like when I am stoked.

Another exciting announcement is that Awarewolf Apparel, one of my favorite queer clothing brands, has generously supplied five gift cards to the initial batch of folks I interviewed. I’m in the process of courting a few other companies, and if you have recommendations for brands that should be on my radar, send me a message or comment below.

And now for a sneak peek into one of my more recent interviews… (as a reminder, one of the ways you can support this project is by becoming a paid subscriber. As thanks, I’ll continue to post exclusive updates for you.)

My most recent conversation was with Robin Taylor. Our conversation flew by and felt as if it could have carried on long past our scheduled time. Robin has been married to his wife for over a decade and has two sons—–ages nine and twelve—–both whom he gestated and ushered into this world.
