'All those layers of expectation that are thrust upon us; boy,
masculine, femme, transgender, sexual, woman, real, are such a weight
to carry round. I feel transgressive. I feel hybrid. I feel trans.'
In this radical and emotionally raw book, Juno Roche pushes the
boundaries of trans representation by redefining 'trans' as an
identity with its own power and strength, that goes beyond the gender
binary.
Through intimate
conversations with leading and influential figures in the trans
community, such as Kate Bornstein, Travis Alabanza, Josephine Jones,
Glamrou and E-J Scott, this book highlights the diversity of trans
identities and experiences with regard to love, bodies, sex, race and
class, and urges trans people - and the world at large - to embrace a
'trans' identity as something that offers empowerment and autonomy.
Powerfully written,
and with humour and advice throughout, this book is essential reading
for anyone interested in the future of gender and how we identify
ourselves.
