What The Panic About Trans Children is Really About

This summer, I’ve really enjoyed highlighting some work from some other thoughtful women newsletter writers that bring different perspectives but similar values to their work. Today I’m excited to share with you all a piece from Amanda Montei, who’s an author, critic, and teacher who runs the newsletter Mad Woman. She has an MFA in writing and a PhD in literature. Her second full-length book, Touched Out: Motherhood, Misogyny, Consent and Control is forthcoming in September (preorder it here!) and follow her on IG for updates about her book tour.Members-only thread: I got a juicy one for you: how do you parent gender?Member Only Hangout: Friday August 25th at 2pm ET.
