"This book differs in that it is the personal story of a transgender woman who has done everything in her power to live her life just like everyone else, by avoiding revealing that she is transgender.
This book follows her life since its beginning, nearly seventy-five years ago, including her earliest recollections of when she first realized she perceived herself differently than the rest of the world did. It then follows her life from the beginning of her transition, more than forty years ago.
It includes what she has encountered, including assault and a nearly fatal ambush in a subway corridor. You will come to understand what she has done to protect her privacy and the reasons she chose to keep her being transgender, private, in an era where maintaining that privacy has become increasingly difficult."
