Oh wow. So, that was heavy; I mean, I did except this to be emotional, but I was still taken aback a bit by how heavy it actually was. (I mean this in a good way though.) Tomorrow Will be Different is an incredibly powerful and inspirational memoir, which ought to be required reading - we could all learn a lot from Sarah McBride.
In her memoir, Sarah tells her own story of coming out as trans, and how this affected her both personally and in relation to her political career/her advocacy work for LGBTQ+ equality over the years. She also tells the story of meeting and falling in love with her husband, who she later tragically loses to cancer.
Despite facing hurdles at almost every turn, there is a beautiful thread of hope that seems to run throughout the memoir - the title for this book feels very apt in this sense (loss is a prominent theme, but there always a sense that tomorrow will be different and bring something better). Sarah is very open about her struggles and the discrimination that she has faced as a trans woman, whilst still being quick to acknowledge and highlight her own privileges as a white trans woman who is fortunate to have accepting, supportive family and friends around her. Sarah McBride is admirable in so many ways, and as I say, I think we could all seek to learn from her - she constantly seeks to educate, and is patient and compassionate with others who oppose her (even when they do not deserve as much).
This is a deeply heartbreaking, yet ultimately hopeful read, which I found educational and accessible. I would encourage everyone to give this a read!
