This Book is Trans Inclusive and inclusive of all gender expressions and identities. However,
the publisher declined to include the two new chapters dedicated
to issues of transgender conception and pregnancy. They also declined
to use a more inclusive subtitle to reflect the breadth of this
book (bisexual, single, trans and gender queer parents). For this we apologize. However, Stephanie is now calling for submissions for another book in the works specifically addressing trans issues. To contact Stephanie Brill, click here.
