Society & Culture
Torrey Peters is the author of Detransition, Baby, a whipsmart novel about three women – trans and cis – trying to have a baby. One of the first novels written by a transwoman published by a Big Five publisher, Detransition, Baby imparts a textured, multi-demensional, and at times incredibly funny exploration of gender, parenthood and sex. Torrey Peters has decided to answer the questions that are tied to the stigma of detransitioning, and she does with nuance, compassion, sensitivity and grace. But what does this all have to do with the cultural implications of owning a dishwasher?
