OOP is so caught up that she can't even understand she's trampling boundaries.

It doesnt matter the subject of the book, or OOPs feelings, or LGB+ rights, or the relationship with Tiffany or Tiffany's mom. All of that is fluff to not address the problem.

This was a baby shower with a registry, and OOP went off-registry for her own virtue-signaling. OOP admits she bought it because she had given it at other showers and just "assumed she and her husband would like" it, and only brings up that is was off-registry when Tiffany says there is an issue.

So it was always for OOP benefit, not for Tiffany and her soon-to-be-family. And then:

Because Tiffany herself has always appeared to be pro-LGBTQ+ rights, I didn't see the big deal. I figured it'd be a good book for an ally's library.

IT'S A BABY SHOWER. BRINGS GIFTS THAT BENEFIT THE BABY.

Their first words should be "trans women are women", right?
