2020: WARNING: TEARS AHEAD
Seriously, do not dive into this book if you're not ready to cry. This will not be as a result of McBride's coming out story, or particular mistreatment as an out trans woman (although there is a little of that). It will be because of the dedication and passion that McBride shares for her world to be a better place, and of her never-ending commitment to making the United States (and Delaware in particular) a more hospitable and equitable place for everyone.
I read this book also in the wake of Joe Biden being elected President, because as excited as I am to get rid of Trump, I’m still not ~jazzed~ about Biden being the next President. Biden writes the forward to the book, and his family is wrapped up in a lot of the early parts of McBride’s story. It was a lovely touch to include and made me feel better about having Biden in office.
Also, there is a ton about grief and how to move forward and keep working after incredible loss. I would highly recommend it if you are looking for solace after the loss of a loved one. I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and it was very powerful to hear McBride's own voice recount her story. Would highly recommend if you have a family member or friend who has recently come out as trans, and you are interested in learning the best way to be supportive (and avoid some of the pitfalls that McBride's own family fell into).
Sarah McBride is a fucking rockstar and I am so proud that she's going to be representing America as a state senator, and I can't wait until I get a chance to vote for her. Keep fighting the good fight.
