As a transgender man in a gay relationship, Trevor has gone through the journeys of pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing all while exploring (and sometimes defending) his role as a trans dad. Trevor and his partner tackle all the questions new parents are familiar with: \u003cem\u003eShould we feed our baby breast milk or formula? Should we have a hospital or home birth?\u003c\/em\u003e and others perhaps unfamiliar: \u003cem\u003eHow can a man cope with gender dysphoria when going through such female-coded rituals as childbirth and breastfeeding?

His stories convey the intimate and sometimes surprising realities of the transgender parenting experience. This memoir is a book about being a breastfeeding parent and a transgender man, and the many beautiful, moving, and difficult ways these two identities collide . It reminds us that birth is a fundamental process that lies outside simplistic definitions and concepts. Coming at a time when transgender people around the world face significant legislative oppression and violence, \"Where's the Mother?\" is a memoir about love and family like no other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 24, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48001154842872,"sku":"9780991964512","price":41.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/ODR5bEVXM2N1c3NrZWZSQ3V0WmNJdz09.webp?v=1771422878","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/wheres-the-mother-stories-from-a-transgender-dad-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
