I haven’t read it… but I know that Texas is trying to ban this book and it does cover trans children that conservative parents don’t accept…
Sorry your sibling is going through this… isn’t not easy being non-conservative as a minor in conservative households….. been there
Andrew Soloman's Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity
Although I haven't finished it yet, I think it would be a good addition to the list. In the book, Soloman examines how individuals and their families forge an identity out of what is labeled an illness from birth. The chapters in the book are Son, Deaf, Dwarf, Down Syndrome, Autism, Schizophrenia, Disability, Prodigies, Rape, Crime, Transgender, and Father. Using his own experience as a homosexual who was also born dyslexic, he seeks to understand how families are impacted by divergences from the presupposed identity off their offspring. Describing the aspects of our identity that are passed down from our progenitors as "vertical identities", and those that are not as "horizontal identities", Soloman very eloquently conveys the struggle as well as the opportunity for transformation that are inherent in any individual's uniqueness.
Far From the Tree by Andrew Soloman is a wonderful book!
>Solomon’s startling proposition in Far from the Tree is that being exceptional is at the core of the human condition—that difference is what unites us. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, or multiple severe disabilities; with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, and Solomon documents triumphs of love over prejudice in every chapter.
