Student Engagement Officer, Alice Andrew, has started reading Detransition Baby by Torrey Peters which everyone was reading last year, so I'm feeling fashionably late to the party. It's been described as a trans take on love and motherhood, and so far, recommended! #WorldBookDay https://t.co/horiQL5LU4
