The Natural Mother of the Child: A Memoir of Nonbinary Parenthood

"Krys Malcom Belc’s debut memoir-in-essays is the book I wish I’d had when I was navigating pregnancy in my nonbinary body. Through the use of source documents and personal narrative, Belc questions what it means to be someone who is not a woman, yet who gives birth in a society where pregnancy and birthing are so aggressively gendered as “feminine” activities. A prescient book for the time we’re in, Belc’s experience deserves to be heard."
