Trystan Reese launched into the public eye as 'the pregnant man' in 2017, when the story of his family gained international media attention. He is the Director of Family Formation at Family Equality, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing equality for LGBTQ families. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his partner Biff and their three kids.
This narrative of an extraordinary family describes what it's like to be a trans father, a pregnant man, an adoptive father--what it's like to invent and enact new relational structures. Trystan Reese writes with great tenderness and compassion, and also with a well-considered agenda of political and social activism. This rollicking book will release love that might otherwise have remained buried; it limns the exact quality of joy that can inhere in inventing not only yourself, but also the world you live in. --Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree You can't meet Trystan and not like him. The same goes for this book. First of all, he spelled everything right. Those correctly spelled words make a great read about Trystan and his pregnancy. Yes. His. See I told you this book was going to be good. You're gonna learn stuff but you'll like it. --Willam
