"Reese almost had it all: a loving relationship with Amy, an apartment in New York City, a job she didn't hate. She had scraped together what previous generations of trans women could only dream of: a life of mundane, bourgeois comforts. The only thing missing was a child. But then her girlfriend, Amy, detransitioned and became Ames, and everything fell apart. Now Reese is caught in a self-destructive pattern: avoiding her loneliness by sleeping with married men. Ames isn't happy either. He thought detransitioning to live as a man would make life easier, but that decision cost him his relationship with Reese - and losing her meant losing his only family. Even though their romance is over, he longs to find a way back to her. When Ames's boss and lover, Katrina, reveals that she's pregnant with his baby - and that she's not sure whether she wants to keep it - Ames wonders if this is the chance he's been waiting for. Could the three of them form some kind of unconventional family - and raise the baby together?"--Publisher.

Sammendrag: “Detransition, Baby” følger Reese, en transkvinde i New York, og hendes ekskæreste Amy, som efter et overfald detransitionerer, bliver til Ames og forsøger at leve som mand. Deres brud efterlader Reese ensom og selvdestruktiv, mens Ames forsøger at genopbygge et liv og en kønsidentitet, der kan fungere. Da Ames’ chef og elsker, Katrina, uventet bliver gravid, opstår spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt de tre – en cis-kvinde, en detransitioneret transperson og en transkvinde – kan skabe en alternativ familie og finde en måde at være forældre på uden for traditionelle normer. Romanen udforsker køn, seksualitet, moderskab, valg og konsekvenser, samtidig med at den skildrer queer miljøer, venskaber og kærlighedens kompleksitet i nutidens USA.
