'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. This is the ebook edition, you will be able to access this
