A trans woman, her detransitioned ex, and the ex's pregnant cis boss try to build a family together. Peters wrote a novel about trans life that's also a sharp, witty New York comedy of manners about parenthood, desire, and what counts as a real family. It became the first novel by an openly trans woman to be nominated for a major literary prize, and it reads like it was always supposed to exist.

The case for it, the case against, and the rest of the canon open with Pro.
