Having a transgender discussion with my mom always feels like déjà vu.

"Do you think your memoir was published because your story is so unexpected?" my mother asked at a recent family wedding. Translation: White, upper-middle class, Ivy League graduates don't end up transgender—this kind of thing happens to other people.

We had the same conversation many years earlier, when I came out as a lesbian.
