Editor Simon Knaphus and four contributors to “Seahorses: Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender-Expansive Pregnancy” share from their collected essays. Together they reflect on pregnancy and childbirth, navigating medical spaces, facing surveillance, parenting beyond the binary, and finding healing and self-affirmation through the process. This event features Amari Ayomide, Jacoby Ballard, Dr. S. Aakash Kishore, and Dr. Simone Kolysh. CW: This conversation includes candid treatment of pregnancy loss and suicidal ideation. If you need someone trans to talk to, even if you’re not in a crisis or not sure you’re trans, call the Tans Lifeline hotline at (877) 565-8860.
