Krátky popis
When Carolyn Hays's child made clear to the family that they were
all wrong, he was not a boy, but, in fact, a girl, the Hays shifted
pronouns, adopted a nickname and encouraged her to dress as she
felt comfortable. One ordinary day, a caseworker from the
Department of Children and Families knocked on their door to
investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their
transgender child. It was this threat that instilled in them a
deep-seated fear for their child's safety in the Republican state
they called home. And so they uprooted their lives to the more
trans-accepting Northeast United States, though they were never far
from the hate and fear resting at the nation's core.Intimate,
lyrical and thought-provoking, A Girlhood is an ode to Hays's
brilliant, brave child, as well as a cathartic revisit of the pain
of the past. It tells of the brutal truths of being trans, of the
sacrificial nature of motherhood, and of the lengths a family will
go to shield their youngest from the cruel realities of the world.
Hays asks us all to love better, for children everywhere who are
enduring injustice and prejudice just as they begin to understand
themselves. A Girlhood is a celebration of difference, a plea for
empathy, and a hope for a better future, but moreover, it is a love
letter to a child who has always known herself and is waiting for
the rest of the world to catch up.
