Normalizers began on TikTok and now has over a hundred thousand followers. Monica is demisexual, with multiple children who are gay, transgender, and autistic. She hopes to create a safer and more accepting space for them in the world.
Wow- what an engaging resource for teens! It's rare to see such a successful blend of comprehensive information and caring advice, especially one that affirms and includes so many identities and experiences. From the general to the specific, this book offers so many answers. To see shame-free information being shared so generously by Monica and Ash, along with many of their anonymous question-askers and storytellers, is such a gift to teens everywhere. -- Rachel Simon, author of The Every Body Book
