C'est une famille presque ordinaire : un père, une mère, quatre enfants drôles et intelligents, avec de forts caractères. La maison, dans une petite ville du sud des Etats-Unis, est bruyante et pleine de vie. Le dernier né est un garçon de 3, 1 kg, dont tous célèbrent la venue. Dès qu'il a pu parler, il a dit à toute sa famille qu'elle avait tort : il était une fille. Aimante et courageuse, la famille se mobilise, abandonne le prénom masculin et opte pour un surnom neutre.
La vie poursuit son cours jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, un enquêteur du Département de l'enfance frappe à leur porte. Ainsi commence Comment tu es devenue ma fille, récit de vie et lettre d'une mère à son enfant devenu une fille de treize ans aujourd'hui. Confrontée à cette épreuve qui touche un nombre grandissant de parents, cette mère de famille se lance dans une vaste enquête. De l'architecture délicate et complexe du cerveau, à l'existence de personnes transgenres à travers l'histoire, de la Chine ancienne à Jeanne d'Arc, en passant par la longue histoire des bals travestis, la botanique, le féminisme et les membres fantômes, Carolyn Hays célèbre la richesse du passage entre les sexes, de la métamorphose.

Work Description
A parent’s love letter to a daughter who has always known exactly who she is.
One ordinary day, a caseworker from the Department of Children and Families knocked on the Hays family's door to investigate an anonymous complaint about the upbringing of their transgender child. It was this knock, this threat, that began the family's journey out of the Bible Belt but never far from the hate and fear resting at the nation’s core.
Self-aware and intimate, Letter to My Transgender Daughter asks us all to love better, not just for the sake of Hays’s child but for children everywhere enduring injustice and prejudice just as they begin to understand themselves. Letter to My Transgender Daughter is a call to action, an ode to community, a plea for empathy, a hope for a better future. Letter to My Transgender Daughter is a love letter to a child who has always known exactly who she is—and who is waiting for the rest of the world to catch up. —Publisher
