"Beyond politics, religion and the struggle for individual rights and freedoms, the transgender experience is an internal one. The author takes you on an intimate journey into her personal and troubled history. She shares the desperate secrets of a young child struggling with feelings, thoughts and bullying she didn’t understand.
With unflinching honesty, she highlights the formative experiences that shaded her social and mental development. She asks the reader to courageously consider her childhood in the 1960s before the internet, public awareness of gay rights or the term “Transgender” emerged. Although the story is uniquely her own, much can be applied to anyone who has suffered violence, social rejection and loneliness for being different.
The author challenges those wishing to understand the transgender phenomenon so prevalent in today’s media. She makes no demands and few assertions. It is an offering of the heart in hopes to further understanding. She shares her experiences, thoughts and emotions that gave rise to self-hatred, social anxiety and isolation."
