"In this real life account, the author describes her handling of a discrepancy between her body's birth form and her gender identity. It is the story of her transition from male to female—and much more that resulted. Ms. Regier shares her feelings, thoughts, and experiences that led to her gender change. She shares her exploration of self and her surroundings throughout the process and her experiences following transition and surgery.
Ms. Regier paints a broader picture of herself beyond the nuts and bolts of the transition in order that the reader have a better frame of reference for the effects and implications of this type of change in an individual's life.
Despite some variously difficult situations, Ms. Regier was ultimately driven to follow her truth. She approaches life with a sense of humour and shares her experiences in a series of narratives and commentary, often with a giggle or a smile. Included among the text are several of the author's personal photographs from childhood through post-transition."
