Synopsis of the volume
In a society that limits parental expression to rigid and conventional norms, Stories of Trans* Parents stands out as a hymn to freedom.
Through an intimate journey, Egon Botteghi shows us the challenges and profound transformations of his own identity, tracing a path that shatters conventions and reclaims the right to be, to love, and to continue raising the two children he brought into the world. The words of a man and mother become an act of resistance against those who deny him the right to humanity: "And so I asked myself: what am I in today's world? Am I a hero of the revolution, the monster who stands on the crest of evolution, am I a kamikaze who crashes into binary and heterosexist norms to overthrow them, or am I simply one of the many ways in which a human being modulates himself and who therefore must be accepted, welcomed, helped to live well, and left in peace with his transformed body?".
His pen acts as a bridge to other stories that are a mirror of our reality: they are trans women and men, they are mothers, they are fathers, they are the change we hope will happen in the world.[:]
