This is the deeply personal and witty account of growing up as the kid who never fitted in. Transgender blogger Mia Violet reflects on her life and how at 26 she came to finally realise she was 'trans enough' to be transgender, after years of knowing she was different but without the language to understand why. From bullying, heartache and a botched coming out attempt, through to counselling, Gender Identity Clinics and acceptance, Mia confronts the ins and outs of transitioning, using her charged personal narrative to explore the most pressing questions in the transgender debate and confront what the media has gotten wrong. An essential read for anyone who has had to fight to be themselves. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

In the second half of the book, the author Mia Violet goes granular into the early stages of her transition. You get to hear about outfits she chose, makeup she wore, how she felt, what she was afraid of. I really loved this. It was like having a friend who is also going through a transition and getting to share all the details. These chapters sparked a lot of thoughts and reflections about my own life. It was really heartbreaking to hear about the waiting times at England's Gender Identity Clinics (spoiler: it takes years) and the reaction of Mia Violet's parents when she came out.
I must tell you that if you really like dialogue and discrete scenes, this book has very little of those things. I was having a hard time with the initial chapters that dealt with Mia Violet's childhood and teenage years, and that could have been why. Or, it could have been because those years were painful to write about and that feeling bled through, or because it was hard for me to relate to a millennial childhood. Or it could have been a million different reasons. (Why do I even bother writing book reviews? I never know what's going on.) But anyway, once I got past the beginning, I absolutely loved this book and I highly recommend it. I would love to read more from this author. ( )
