Our country stands at a critical cultural crossroads, with a wave of anti-trans legislation emerging at unprecedented levels targeting trans children, in particular, who face increasing stigmatization and erasure. In recent years, the Sim Butler family faced an impossible reality in their home state of Alabama, where trans rights are increasingly under attack. Sim Butler’s And the Dragons Do Come is a poignant account of one family’s experience of parenting and supporting a trans child in these perilous times. His book provides a firsthand perspective on the human cost of anti-trans sentiment and a strong argument for keeping the humanity in our hearts and our communities. Meet Sim Butler on Thursday, November 20 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore. Co-sponsored by Prattville Pride.
