Krys Malcolm Belc has written a new memoir. It is called What I Made for Dinner. The book talks about life as a queer and trans parent. Belc shares personal stories about family and home life.

The memoir covers many important topics. Belc writes about what it means to build a home. He also writes about raising children as a trans person. These are experiences that many queer families can relate to.

Mental health is another big theme in the book. Belc is open about his own struggles. He also talks about gender-affirming care. This is medical care that helps trans people feel more like themselves. For many trans people, this care is very important.

Belc also writes about his work as a teacher. Teaching is a big part of his identity. He shares how his job connects to who he is as a person. He believes in giving to others. He also believes that giving can make us feel good inside.

The memoir looks at everyday life in a new way. Simple things, like cooking dinner, become meaningful. Belc shows that domestic life can be rich and full. Queer and trans families create their own traditions. They find new ways to live and love together.

The book comes from Autostraddle, a well-known LGBTQ+ media platform. It speaks to readers who want to see their own lives in literature. Many queer and trans people do not often find their stories in books. Belc's memoir helps to change that.

What I Made for Dinner is more than a story about food. It is about identity, family, and belonging. It shows that queer and trans lives are full of meaning. It also shows that these lives deserve to be celebrated and shared with the world.
