'Detransition, Baby' is getting the screen adaptation treatment — and it is could change transgender storytelling on TV in the process.

. Joan Rater and Tony Phelan are set to be showrunners and handle executive production, while Peters herself will write the show's pilot episode. Each episode will be 30 minutes.

This is a huge deal, because it represents one of the first TV shows about transgender families based on a book by one of the precious few bestselling transgender authors. The topic of detransitioning itself is a common notion used to perpetuate anti-trans laws, policies, and uphold cis supremacy.

Not to spoil thenovel , but if you're not familiar with the premise, it's about a mid-30s trans woman named Reese who is contemplating having a child with her ex, who has detransitioned to identify as a cis man. Comedy, heartbreak, and queer love ensue as they struggle with parenthood from a distinctly trans experience. Put it on your next must-read list.
