Stuck in the middle with you : a memoir of parenting in three genders
Boylan, Jennifer Finney, 1958-2013
Book
This is the author's memoir about gender and parenting, including incredible interviews discussing gender, how families are shaped, and the difficulties and wonders of being human. A father for ten years, a mother for eight, and for a time in between, neither, or both ("the parental version of the schnoodle, or the cockapoo"), she has seen parenthood from both sides of the gender divide."
