Summary
"In this memoir, Jackson Bird chronicles the ups and downs of growing up gender confused. Illuminated by journal entries spanning childhood to adolescence to today, he candidly recalls the challenges he faced while trying to sort out his gender and sexuality, and worrying about how to interact with the world. With warmth and wit, Jackson also recounts how he navigated the many obstacles and quirks of his transitionlike figuring out how to have a chest binder delivered to his NYU dorm room and having an emotional breakdown at a Harry Potter fan convention. From his first shot of testosterone to his eventual top surgery, Jackson lets you in on every part of his journeytaking the time to explain trans terminology and little-known facts about gender and identity along the way. Bird not only sheds light on the many facets of a transgender life, but also demonstrates the power and beauty in being yourself, even when youre not sure who yourself is."--, Adapted from Amazon.com
